OxTalks is Changing
During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).

Global hydrodynamic modelling of flood inundation in continental rivers
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.
