Right size, right place approach required for climate adaptation plans
Published: 30 June 2025
In a paper published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, a team from UofG’s GES discuss the outcomes of their modelling, built on data from a hydrodynamic model recently commissioned by Glasgow City Council. The researchers modelled the effectiveness of the managed realignments against worst-case-scenario flooding along the Clyde both in the present and for a projected year 2100. In 2100 sea level is projected to rise an additional 85 cm under a high-emissions climat scenario.
