Associate Professor Fiona Johnson is the Director of the Water Research Centre at the University of New South Wales, specializing in hydrology and water resource management. With over 20 years of experience in academia, government, and consultancy, her research focuses primarily on statistical hydrology, particularly in relation to flooding and extreme weather events due to climate change. After earning her PhD from UNSW in 2010 with a focus on General Circulation Model simulations and climate change impacts on water resources, she began her career at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Professor Johnson has made significant contributions to hydrologic modeling and climate change methodologies, especially in assessing the impact of climate change on extreme rainfall events. Her work supports the needs of marginalized communities, with community-oriented projects in Tanzania and Nepal. Johnson’s research also extends to improving flood forecasting and hydrological model structures, integrating remote sensing data, and developing methods to assess the impacts of climate variability on water resources.
