Amy Green

 

Amy Green is a Research Associate at Newcastle University specialising in climate risk with a focus on extreme rainfall and flooding. Her work sits at the intersection of climate science, statistics and data visualisation for applied decision-making, with a focus on translating complex environmental data into usable tools for policy and practice. She completed an MMathStat, where she developed a strong foundation in statistical methods for environmental extremes, and went on to complete a PhD focused on rainfall data uncertainties. She co-developed PYRAMID, a near real-time flood risk assessment platform designed in collaboration with stakeholders including the Environment Agency, local authorities, and community flood groups. 

Amy’s research addresses key challenges in the quality, accessibility, and interoperability of climate data, particularly for extreme rainfall. She has contributed to the development of high-resolution rainfall datasets and hazard indices and has experience building interactive dashboards and tools to communicate risk across sectors. Her current work focuses on creating quality-controlled climate hazard datasets and integrating them into platforms such as DAFNI to support infrastructure resilience planning. She is particularly interested in enabling cross-sector, system-level approaches to climate risk, bridging the gap between research, policy, and real-world decision-making.
