Nele Reyniers

I'm a PhD student at the Climatic Research Unit (School of Environmental Science), working in collaboration with water company Anglian Water for my PhD project on drought risk in our changing climate. This includes analysing regional climate simulations, climate observation datasets and using these to drive an ensemble of hydrological models.

My PhD focusses on characterisation and quantification of drought risk and how climate change is affecting drought risk in the UK. Specifically, my work explores how important different sources of uncertainty are for projected changes of drought risk: GCM/RCM parameterisation, hydrological model structure, hydrological model parameterisation strategy and, crucially, drought definition and indicator.

My research interests genearlly cover climate change, climate dynamics, droughts and other extreme events, and interactions of the previous with humans.
