Biography

Mariam Zachariah is a Research Associate at the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London. She works on near-real-time attribution of extreme events, focusing on the extent to which human-induced climate change influences characteristics of these events. Her role is part of the World Weather Attribution (WWA) initiative, an international collaboration that brings together experts from climate sciences and social sciences to conduct rapid attribution assessments following impactful extreme events. Before joining the Grantham Institute in February 2022, Mariam pursued her PhD at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB), India. Her doctoral research focused on the significant impact of climate-related factors like droughts and extreme temperatures on agricultural yields in India, particularly in major agrarian regions. Through her research, she aims to address the vulnerability of the Indian economy, which heavily depends on agriculture, to climate change.
