Biography

Clair Barnes is a Research Associate at the Grantham Institute, focusing on 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 to quantify uncertainties associated with multi-model ensemble forecasts, particularly within a multivariate Bayes Linear framework. In 2022, she participated in the World Weather Attribution initiative, which aims to attribute changes in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events to climate change. Her research focuses on improving probabilistic attribution methodologies to obtain robust results and to understand the factors driving changes in extreme weather events.
