The Flood Hazard Research Centre (FHRC) at Middlesex University comprises of a small group of committed social and environmental scientists working to improve policy making and implementation in the fields of hazard, coastal and integrated water management. We are particularly keen to emphasise the link between socio-economic aspects of human behaviour and environmental change and thereby point to alternative solutions to environmental problems.
As such we believe we are part of a general movement world-wide which emphasises sustainable solutions to environmental problems, involving a careful mix of socio-economic policies and sound environmental science.
The Centre has been active since 1970 and therefore comprises one of the oldest Research Centres in the world concerned with water and environmental management. We have a publications list extending to over 500 items, including several substantial Manuals and research monographs. We also have a PhD and Masters level training programme. The Centre comprises geographers, economists, sociologists and environmental scientists.

We are confident that we are making a significant contribution to research and development work in water and related resource management fields. We would welcome the opportunity for sharing this experience with others, and collaborating with them in developing sustainable policies and practices for the future.
