Flood maps are key to future planning
Scientists from the British Geological Survey once again used a light aeroplane to investigate flooding this week - just weeks after a similar flight over the North of England. Dr John Carney and scientific photographer Paul Witney observed flooding from 600 m (2000 ft) as they flew over the worst affected areas around Oxford, Gloucester and Tewkesbury. Dr Carney and Marieta Garcia-Bajo of the Geological Indicators of Flooding Team have been busy comparing photographs and video footage of the flight with the new BGS Geological Indicators of Flooding Map.
