I work outside my core model evaluation area in research to better help us understand catastrophe risk. I was delighted to have been given a Visiting Research Fellow position where I studied for my BSc and PhD at the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading as of May 2017. Current and previous research papers can be seen below.

​

Below are some of the research topics in which I am engaged at the moment:

​

Wind and Flood Correlation

Paper with John Hillier of Loughborough University in review stage on using synthetic windstorm seasons from Copernicus data to understand wind-flood correlation in NW Europe. Hoping for follow-up PhD study.

​

Windstorm Risk from Large Climate Ensembles

Paper currently in writing with Len Shaffrey at Reading University on a simple conversion of climate model output  to risk information to demonstrate the time-varying nature of windstorm risk

​

US Hurricane - Europe Windstorm Correlation

Understanding what large-scale variables may impact EUWS/USHU correlation from season-to-season using large datasets

​

Drivers of Different WIndstorm Seasons

Short article in preparation contrasting the 1990 and 2020 windstorm seasons and how different they were despite both being seen as "windy" in the media.
