Hydro-Environmental Modelling Laboratory

HEMLab is a research team based within the School of Architecture, Building and Civil Engineering at Loughborough University, UK. We conduct innovative research and create new knowledge and solutions to support disaster risk management and tackle relevant grand societal challenges induced by climate change and global development. We work at the forefront of computational hydraulics and data analytics to develop advanced models and tools to predict and forecast water-related natural hazards and hydro-environmental flow processes. We have produced a range of high-performance modelling and informatics tools for predicting floods and other natural hazards and assessing their risks, including our flagship High-Performance Integrated hydrodynamic Modelling System (HiPIMS). We value interdisciplinary collaboration to push research frontiers and share knowledge to step change engineering practice in managing natural hazard risks and enhancing societal resilience to climate change.
