MOXXI Webinar Series: The FluViSat Satellite Velocimetry Project: Measuring Streamflow from Space

Описание: 🎙️ Speaker: Nick Everard, Senior Hydrometric Scientist, UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology
📅 Date: 13 August 2025
🕚 Time: 11:00 CEST
📍 Platform: MS Teams

🔬 About the Webinar:
Can you believe it? Measuring the velocity and flow of a river from space! 🛰️🛰️

This unprecedented endeavour drives top researchers like Nick to develop tools for measuring critical data, such as river discharge and velocity.

His interdisciplinary work bridges fluid mechanics, acoustics, and environmental engineering, offering insight into how airborne acoustic techniques and free-surface wave dynamics can be harnessed to revolutionize river and sewage flow monitoring.

🎓 About the Speaker:
Nick Everard's mission is to measure the water in all the world's rivers. Perhaps not all at once, but in time....!

Nick worked for over 30 years at the Environment Agency, where he gained experience in all things hydrometric, and led on river discharge measurement techniques. Following his move to UKCEH in 2020, Nick has been developing novel applications for drone and satellite remote sensing data, including the use of aerial drones, thermal cameras and very high-resolution video from space for river flow monitoring.

Nick is currently working on several projects, including: a Flood and Drought Research Infrastructure catchment observatory project in which he leads on river and precipitation monitoring and the Tweed catchment; Innovative use of drones with thermal and multi-spectral sensors for monitoring intermittent streams; Remote control and autonomous systems for water quality monitoring; In-situ data provision for Copernicus satellite services; Informing World Meteorological Organization strategy for satellite remote sensing; Investigating the potential of aerial drones for river and floodplain flow monitoring.
