Integrated outcomes
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
Flood and coastal erosion risk management is inter-disciplinary and can provide multiple and integrated outcomes for society, the economy and the environment.
Our research activities will support us to:
8.1 – solve existing and emerging environmental issues using solutions from different disciplines
8.2 – use nature-based solutions that reduce flooding and coastal erosion and provide benefits for people and the environment
8.3 – understand the effects of flooding and coastal change on rural places to improve resilience
8.4 – understand and improve how social equity and health impacts are considered when managing flood and coastal risks
Further information is available on the joint programme webpage: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/flood-and-coastal-erosion-risk-management-research-and-development-programme/about

Investigate the threat of contaminants of emerging concern in groundwater
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
We want to determine the current scale of the problem – where in Wales they appear most and why. This would include:
– identifying the expect sources of these contaminants in groundwater
– understanding the fate and transport of some of these contaminants of emerging concern in groundwater
– highlighting any specific regulatory interventions that may be required
Keywords (discipline, other): Groundwater, PFAS, contaminants of emerging concern

Is the building industry becoming more or less sustainable in its consumption of energy and generation of greenhouse gasses?
Summary of the Research Question / Evidence Need:
The building industry is a major consumer of energy, and generates significant amounts of greenhouse gas from its supply chain including the production of cement and steel . Most of their activity relates to urban areas. Data on this is available at a UK level, but it is harder to obtain for Wales.
Keywords (discipline, other): Architecture, building, energy consumption, climate change, greenhouse gas, supply chain, materials, urban, impact
