Today I finally got the opportunity to graduate with my Master by Thesis in Marine Biology and my Post Graduate Diploma in Offshore Wind. Today has been the best day I could ask for. Finally being able to celebrate my achievements (and attend my first ever graduation) surrounded by everyone that has helped me along the way. Just a few years ago I'd never have thought I'd be where I am today and I will never stop being grateful! 3 more years and I'll be back to graduate with a PhD 🤞👩🎓

ICYMI: Dr Steven Forrest, academic lead for our MSc Flood Risk Management was recently interviewed re the need for better preparation for flooding:https://lnkd.in/e5ZJfhDA In the article about the extensive floods in Leicestershire, Greater Manchester and North Yorkshire, Dr Forrest said: "We need to strengthen the support and money available to communities to work out what we can learn from each flooding incident and what we can do to be more prepared next time" University of Hull Living With Water

New National Planning Policy Framework has new guidance on #SuDS - as well as reducing runoff, it now states they SHOULD improve #WaterQuality #Biodiversity and #Amenity. Good news for #SuDS 182. Applications which could affect drainage on or around the site should incorporate sustainable drainage systems to control flow rates and reduce volumes of runoff, and which are proportionate to the nature and scale of the proposal. These should provide multifunctional benefits wherever possible, through facilitating improvements in water quality and biodiversity, as well as benefits for amenity. Sustainable drainage systems provided as part of proposals for major development should: a) take account of advice from the Lead Local Flood Authority; b) have appropriate proposed minimum operational standards; and c) have maintenance arrangements in place to ensure an acceptable standard of operation for the lifetime of the development. https://lnkd.in/eqA-XKqq
