SKCC Study Visit at Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site

A Study Day at Ironbridge World Heritage Site is organized by Sustaining Knowledge for a Changing Climate (SKCC), funded by the Environmental and Physical Sciences Research Council with partners from Manchester University, Newcastle University, University College London and the University of East Anglia.

The focus of the day is to investigate issues of flood control and land instability within Ironbridge Gorge, to look at the problems this presents for this historic site, and how any flood prevention work has to take into full account the historic importance of the area. The Study Day will include visits to sites where work on flood protection and combating land slippage in the Gorge is being carried out.
