Oxford Hydrology Group Meetings

The Oxford Hydrology Group is an enthusiastic group of students and staff members based at the University of Oxford with a shared passion around hydrology. Through weekly meetings, OHG seeks to share our knowledge and understanding among  members and keep up-to-date with all the latest developments in the field of hydrology. Our interests stretch from evapotranspiration in the Congo Basin to Earth observation and fluvial geomorphology to the impact of dams.

This group is open to anyone at the University of Oxford who is interested in doing something water related. OHG is keen on interdisciplinary work and so is not limited to hydrologists!

Specific topics include:
29 Jan-Machine Learning and Hydrology by Thomas Lee
19 Feb--Understanding the influence of tree cover and urban area on streamflow in the United States using multiple statistical attribution techniques by Bailey Anderson
early March--A talk with Dr Wouter Knoben-details to come.

Fieldwork challenges in water research: An interactive discussion on the challenges of water-related research fieldwork 

Water research is interdisciplinary creating a variety of fieldwork challenges from poor access to laboratory essentials to the ethics of engaging with vulnerable communities. Now the COVID19 pandemic has generated unprecedented disruption and uncertainty in research fieldwork. How can researchers better identify these challenges before beginning fieldwork and what are solutions to overcoming them?

This is NOT your typical lecture or brownbag because the speakers are you! Join us for this interactive hour to share your fieldwork experiences, ask questions, and find support related to your fieldwork—past or future! This will be a safe space with respect for fellow participants’ insights and conundrums.
