A special lecture event is taking place this Friday, 6th May in Magdalene College in association with a flood resistence conference being organised by the Cambridge University Centre for Risk in the Built Environment (CURBE) and the Centre for Science and Policy. In his lecture, Jeremy Purseglove will explore the cause of flooding in Britain and question whether government policy on flood prevention is fit for purpose.
