Description

As the impacts of climate change worsen and urbanisation continues, flooding is becoming an increasingly serious problem for communities around the world. Professor João Porto de Albuquerque, at the University of Glasgow, UK, is leading the Waterproofing Data project, empowering communities in Brazil and helping them better predict and prepare for flooding events.

This brochure introduces João's work, offers an insight into careers in urban analytics and digital geography, contains an interview with João and includes an activity sheet that challenges students to create their own rain gauge and develop their GIS skills.
