BIO

Clair is a Research Associate at the Grantham Institute, investigating the impacts of climate change on extreme weather.

Clair is a statistician with a PhD in Statistical Science from University College London, where she developed models for quantifying uncertainties associated with multi-model ensemble forecasts, particularly within a multivariate Bayes Linear framework.

Since 2022 she has worked with the World Weather Attribution initiative, attributing changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events to climate change. Her research focuses on ways to improve probabilistic attribution methodologies to obtain more robust results and understand more about the factors driving changes in extreme weather events.
