It\u2019s a real threat to riverine structures such as bridges and associated infrastructure. In Britain, there have been at least 50 known instances where river scour has caused railway bridge failures (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbatrust.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/JBA-Trust-Flood-and-scour-failure-at-railway-assets-1846-to-2013-W13-4224-FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">van Leeuwen and Lamb, 2014<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/risa.13370\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lamb et al., 2019<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With projected climate scenarios telling us not only of an expected increase in rainfall in some areas of the UK, but also of an increase in the intensity of that rainfall, we are expecting river scour to become an increasing issue. With fuller and faster flowing rivers, proximal assets including roads and buildings could also become at increased risk if river scour removes sediments laterally and at a faster pace. We need to be able to identify locations at risk and adapt to the changing conditions to increase our resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/datasets\/bgs-geoscour-open\/\">BGS GeoScour data product<\/a> provides information for users on the natural characteristics and properties of catchment and riverine environments for the assessment of river scour across Great Britain. Whilst this product provides information on baseline geological conditions and other associated characteristics, it does not convey potential for change through time.

To date with this beta product, we have considered how climate change could modify potential effects related to flood accommodation space (locations with limited space to hold flood waters will potentially be at higher risk of scour events) and worst-case scenario erosion cases as identified in the current GeoScour product. This provides time-specific potential for change under the extreme scenario RCP 8.5 (read more about RCPs, or representative concentration pathways, on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metoffice.gov.uk\/binaries\/content\/assets\/metofficegovuk\/pdf\/research\/ukcp\/ukcp18-guidance---representative-concentration-pathways.pdf\">Met Office website<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By integrating climate scenario information, we can move from providing baseline conditions to incorporating environmental process interactions over time. This will enable our data product users to establish a better understanding of how river scour might evolve through time. Incorporating this additional information into planning and risk assessment development can then help ensure climate resilience and the sustainability of both existing and future infrastructure and developments.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure  class=\"img-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Geoscour_beta_snapshot_web.jpg\" data-toggle=\"lightbox\" data-footer=\"&lt;p&gt;Snapshot of the GeoScour-Climate beta-product for 2070, resampled to 10\u00a0km hex grids.
