Abstract

This paper summarises research into the potential extent of the 1607 flood in the Severn Estuary, UK. A potential flood-extent map is presented and a discussion into the uncertainties of the data is given. Results show that the Somerset Levels would have been greatly affected over a 560 km2 area and 96 km2 on the Gwent side of the estuary. Further work is required to examine the influence of data uncertainties on the areas generated so that confidence can be placed in the results.
