Machine learning is a powerful technology but it’s not a universal solution. Understanding its potential, limitations and effective applications is crucial.
In this webinar, we’ll break down the fundamentals of machine learning – what it is, how it works and the reasons behind its growing popularity. We’ll explore real-world applications in flood and climate modeling and examine emerging trends that are driving innovation and shaping the future of hydrological modeling.
In this webinar, our experts will explore:
This CPD-accredited webinar is the first in a three-part series exploring the transformative role of machine learning in flood modeling. It highlights how machine learning improves uncertainty management, enhances modeling accuracy, and supports early decision-making for adaptation and resilience.
This webinar is part of a three-part training series.
This course is approved by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management and attendance will contribute toward your continuing professional development (CPD).

Meet the speakers
Chris develops and implements machine learning solutions to enhance Fathom’s flood and climate modeling capabilities, bridging the gap between numerical scientific methods and modern AI approaches.
Chris completed his PhD in high energy physics at the Compound Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at CERN before transitioning into software engineering and machine learning. His career has spanned medical diagnosis using Bayesian inference, vehicle condition assessment with computer vision modeling, patient support systems using large language models and much more, always focusing on creating real-world impact through machine learning applications.
At Fathom, Chris is making the most of the opportunity to advance scientific progress through machine learning while addressing crucial real-world challenges in flood modeling. Working with world leaders in flood and climate modelling is a huge motivation for him, as it provides an opportunity to share and combine complementary backgrounds and experiences to be greater than the sum of our parts.
In his spare time, Chris can be found outdoors getting back to nature, either mountain biking, climbing or hiking.
Gavin has a strong commercial background in spatial data and technology across a number of sectors particularly insurance, financial services, government and real estate.
At Ordnance Survey he was responsible for all the commercial markets and partners and more recently has been involved with building channels to market for several data analytics platforms.
He was the first Fathom Partner selling into the London Insurance market and enjoyed working with the Fathom team so much he has now joined them.
As Head of Engineering Gavin is responsible for growing direct clients across the engineering sector and for developing the Fathom Partner network globally.
