About this resource
FOAM recently sought advice on how to manage erosion in their catchment.
Professor Ian Fuller completed a qualitative assessment of the site’s fluvial geomorphology (how landforms, river shapes, water, and sediment interact). He completed a ‘river condition’ assessment, provided insights on the drivers of erosion in the catchment, and gave recommendations and interventions for ‘erosion hot spots’.
