Biography

In her role as Principal Climate Scientist, Natalie leads everything related to climate at Fathom. She grounds our models and datasets in the latest climate research so that they robustly account for future climate change, and is highly experienced in analysing climate data and applying it to industry and social challenges. Her PhD at the University of Bristol saw her work with European nuclear waste management companies and simulating future climate change over hundreds of thousands of years to understand how it may affect the disposal of high-level radioactive waste. She followed her PhD with a Research Associate

role at the University of Bristol where she worked on projects modelling past and future climate change and climate extremes and investigated tropical cyclone representation in climate models, all with an aim to improve our understanding of future impacts on the environment and society.
