16 July 2018

Links between Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Civil Engineering and HR Wallingford go back some 50 years to when it was the government's Hydraulics Research Station. Over that period, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø have carried out research using the large-scale facilities at Wallingford, HR Wallingford have sponsored projects and research studentships at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø, and we have collaborated on Research Council and EU-funded projects. That collaboration continues, particularly in the fields of seabed scour and tsunami research.
