OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Global-scale modelling of river hydrodynamics is essential for understanding global hydrological cycle, and is also required in interdisciplinary research fields (e.g. earth/climate system modelling and flood risk forecasting/assessment). Global river models have been developed continuously for more than two decades, but modelling river flow at a global scale remains a challenging topic as surface water movement in continental rivers is a multi-spatial-scale phenomena. Dr Dai Yamazaki presents his CaMa-Flood (Catchment-based Macro-scale Floodplain) model, a global hydrodynamic model which addresses the challenge of modelling river flow at a global scale.
Dai Yamazaki Ph.D. is a Research Scientist at JAMSTEC (Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology), Japan. His research interests include surface water hydrodynamics in rivers and floodplains at a global scale, based on wide-range approaches (e.g. modelling, remote sensing, database development, and data assimilation). He holds a Ph.D. in civil engineering from the University of Tokyo.
