‘Flooding the field’ has been a short series of talks being organised by a PhD research network called 'Floods; Living with water in the past, present and future'. In this our final session we welcome both participants from the series as well as potential newcomers to participate in a discussion about the possibilities and the dangers of interdisciplinarity in flood research.

The purpose of this series has been to create a wider community of researchers with an interest in fluvial and coastal flooding. This week will provide a chance for everyone to engage with an interactive mapping session that explores both the tensions and the synergies that will have surfaced over the series and beyond. It is our hope that this mapping exercise will highlight how we might collaborate as interdisciplinary flood researchers in the future.
