Laurence Hawker is a Senior Research Associate in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol. His work focuses on developing flood models, supporting disaster response and developing elevation and population datasets. Currently, I work on a number of projects developing and improving hydrodynamic models in data-sparse regions, namely in Africa (with a focus on Congo Basin and Mozambique) and Vietnam. Recently, along with several co-authors, I have published a 30m resolution global map of elevation with forests and buildings removed called FABDEM. In my research I use remote sensing, hydrodynamic models and work closely in an interdisciplinary team to develop a household survey. In my PhD I worked on an intermediate scale flood model of the Mekong Delta, quantifying river-floodplain connectivity and the simulation of plausible versions of global digital elevation models (DEM) in floodplains.

Northern Ireland extends health and safety worker protections

Workers in Northern Ireland are to be given the same protections from employer repercussions for actions they take in respect of workplace health and safety as employees, economy minister Diane Dodds has announced.
Currently, employees in Northern Ireland are protected against employer detriment if they take any action to protect themselves or others where they reasonably believe there is a serious and imminent danger in their place of work. However, the same protections are not extended to those without full employee status. Examples of detriment include being passed over for promotion or being treated differently by management.
