Doug Richardson is a Research Associate specializing in the societal impacts of extreme climate events. He completed his PhD in 2019 at Newcastle University in the UK, where he assessed the predictability of drought and its relationship with large-scale weather patterns. In 2016, he collaborated with the UK Met Office to design an operational forecast tool that provides the national Flood Forecasting Centre with early warning of extreme rainfall events. Doug previously worked as a Research Fellow at CSIRO in Hobart from 2019 to 2022, contributing to the Australian Climate Service as part of a national multi-agency climate resilience program. In January 2023, he joined the ARC Centre of Excellence. His major research interests include climate extremes, focusing particularly on compound events. Doug is currently investigating the extent to which Australia's energy grid is exposed to widespread reductions in renewable energy resources driven by large-scale synoptic factors. He also examines climate hazards such as drought and wildfire.
