Nick Everard: Spatial Hydrometry

For this week's Geomob podcast, we shake things up a bit. Alastair interviews Nick Everard, a senior hydrometric scientist, about the advancements in hydrometry and river flow measurement. They discuss the evolution of measurement techniques from traditional methods to modern technologies like remote-controlled boats, drones, and satellites. Nick emphasises the importance of accurate data collection in understanding and managing river flows, especially in the context of climate change and increasing flood risks. The conversation makes for a fascinating case study on the importance of data collection and geo-edge cases.
