Well done to our JBA (UK) team on their work on the Isle of Man National Strategy on Sea Defences, Flooding and Coastal Erosion. Tynwald, the Isle of Man Parliament, approved the strategy which has been based on JBA's analysis and evidence base. It is the first of its kind for the Island that assesses combined risk from river, coastal and surface water flooding together with coastal erosion. It identifies a list of those areas most at risk, now and in the future as a result

Recently Libby Wood from our JBA (UK) family has been sharing her experiences promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) in primary and secondary schools. The need to promote these subjects is just as relevant in Australia, with a recent Engineers Australia policy note (2015) identifying our own falling participation rates at a high school level. Read about Libby's experiences on how we can work with our local schools here, and keep your eyes open for our De

Whilst in Munich, Germany, I stopped by to see the famous Eisbach – a standing wave capable of being ridden by surfers. The wave is formed as the fast moving water discharging from the manmade channel slows because of the downstream water, causing a hydraulic jump.
