Renji Remesan held a basic degree in Agriculture Engineering from Kerala Agricultural University, India. He received the M.Tech Degree in Water Resources Development and Management from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IITKgp) and the Ph.D Degree in Civil engineering from the University of Bristol. His Ph.D research investigated data modelling Issues in hydroinformatics giving more emphasis to modelling of hydrological processes.He am currently working as a Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in Yorkshire Forward – Centre for Low Carbon Futures project in conjunction with Leeds, Sheffield and York Universities. The aim of his work is regional climatic and hydrological modelling for Yorkshire and Humberside region based on projected climate change scenarios.

Janet Hooke is Professor of Physical Geography in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of Liverpool, UK. She obtained her BSc from Bristol University and her PhD from Exeter University. She is a fluvial geomorphologist specialising in research on river meanders and river channel changes, particularly the spatial and temporal dynamics of morphological changes, the impact of hydrological variations and the analysis of sediment processes and fluxes. As well as publishing > 80 research papers, books and book chapters, she has advised on environmental management of rivers, catchments and coasts, especially in relation to erosion and flooding. She has managed over 30 research projects, including an EU project on combating land degradation. She works in both semi-arid and humid fluvial systems. She was awarded the 2009 Busk Medal by the Royal Geographical Society, UK, for her field research into river systems and their conservation and contribution to environmental management. She is a past Chair of the British Society for Geomorphology.
