Oliver WingView profile
Research Fellow
Oliver Wing is an Honorary Research Fellow at the School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol. His work focuses on flood risk assessment, hydrology, and climate change impacts. He holds a BSc and PhD, with expertise in large-scale flood modeling, disaster risk management, and environmental policy. Education: BSc and PhD degrees (institutions unspecified). Research interests include flood vulnerability analysis, climate-driven flood dynamics, and the socio-economic implications of extreme weather events. He collaborates with senior academics like Professors Paul Bates and Jeffrey Neal in hydrology research. Dr. Wing’s publications analyze global and regional flood risk patterns, emphasizing spatial equity, climate adaptation, and high-resolution modeling techniques. His work bridges hydrological science with policy, addressing inequities in flood risk distribution and disaster response mechanisms. Recent studies highlight the urgent need for updated flood risk frameworks to account for climate change and urbanization trends. He has contributed to developing stochastic flood models for countries like the USA, Europe, and Southeast Asia. His research integrates satellite data, machine learning, and continental-scale simulations to improve flood prediction accuracy and resilience planning. Notably, his work on Hurricane Harvey’s societal impacts demonstrates interdisciplinary approaches to disaster attribution and policy evaluation. Awards: None explicitly listed in the provided text. Collaborations involve institutions like the University’s Media and PR Team for public engagement. His research outputs emphasize open-access tools for flood risk assessment, including publicly available models and datasets.
