An open debate which challenges the science community to provide better evidence for designing flood management and protection measures in the face of climate change will be hosted by the University.
Flood Risk: Your Answers Questioned is a reverse Question Time, with panellists posing questions to an audience of academic colleagues who specialise in providing the evidence base for flood management strategies.
The panel, chaired by Lever Professor of Town and Regional Planning, Professor Peter Batey, includes Andrew Miller (MP for Ellesmere Port and Neston and Chair of Science and Technology Select Committee), Toby Willison (North West England Regional Director Environment Agency), Christine Darbyshire (Regeneration Policy Team, Liverpool City Council) and Professor Mike Ellis (Head of Climate Change Science, British Geological Society).
All are welcome to this event which takes place in the Foresight Centre on Tuesday 4 January 2011 at 7pm. Anyone wishing to attend should email Professor Andy Plater on gg07@liv.ac.uk
