Principal Hydrologist, UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology I lead the Hydrological Status and Reporting Group at CEH, which comprises scientists working on hydrological data management, hydrological monitoring and seasonal forecasting, analysis of past hydrological change and appraisal of future climate change impacts. Much of my work surrounds the analysis and exploitation of datasets on the UK National River Flow Archive (NRFA), the UK’s principal archive of hydrometric data. I lead the National Hydrological Monitoring Programme, which appraises current hydrological conditions in the UK through monthly Hydrological Summaries and also reports on major hydrological events (such as the winter 2013/14 floods). I contribute to the Hydrological Outlook for the UK, in partnership with other CEH scientists and a host of external organisations. One of my main research interests is the investigation of hydrological trends, to assess the evidence for climate change and other impacts on river flows in the UK and Europe. I have published extensively in this field and authored a recent synthesis of the evidence for climate-driven river flow trends in the UK. A major theme in my work is investigating hydrological extremes (floods and droughts). I am PI on a Belmont Forum project “DrIVER” (Drought Impacts and Vulnerability Thresholds in Monitoring and Early Warning Research), working with partners in Europe, the US and Australia to provide a scientific underpinning for future improvements in drought monitoring and early warning. I am Lead PI on a £1.5m NERC-funded project “Historic Droughts”, running from 2014 – 2018, which aims to develop an interdisciplinary understanding of the drivers and impacts of past droughts in the UK. Previous projects on extremes include the EU FP-6 Project “WATCH”, Water and Global Change, which delivered European-scale analyses of historic and future drought and flooding using observations and global hydrological models.

Associate Professor in Twentieth-Century and Contemporary English Literature, University of Nottingham My work faces two of the big, related questions in twenty-first century Britain: how we represent racism and racial justice, and the changing national story of Britain itself. The literary imagination tells us many things about race and nation that statistics or social science research cannot. My approach questions the popular narrative of an increasingly diverse and inclusive Britishness - I look at many things that undermine such a narrative, including the history of racism, the aftermath of the Empire, and the possible disintegration of Britain into its smaller nations. My research specialism is in late twentieth-century fiction, with a particular emphasis on the Scottish novel, on writing Blackness in post-war Britain, and on Caribbean fiction - areas which have evident, but also surprising and generative, overlaps. I published a book, Writing Black Scotland: Race, Nation and the Devolution of Black Britain (Edinburgh University Press, 2020) where I look at the way the politics of race - in a sense of government policy, in grassroots activism, and in an everyday social context - meet with the peculiar national formations of contemporary Britain. These include the 'master narrative' of Britishness and the stories of Britain's constituent nations like England and Scotland, as well as national affiliations that overspill territorial boundaries. I also have a research interest in the literary representation of addiction: what literature can tell us both about addiction at the level of the individual people and their experiences, but also what it tells us about society more widely, in history, in attitudes, and as a metaphor for different things.
Professor of Environmental Studies and Faculty in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Colorado Boulder Joanna has spent her career publishing and teaching about evolution, ecology, and the critical conservation issues impacting wild mammal species interactions and adaptation. Joanna is currently a professor at the University of Colorado – Boulder (CU). Previous to her position at CU, Joanna was a professor at University of Texas, a visiting professor at Duke University, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, an assistant professor at the University of Oregon, and Program Director at the National Science Foundation. In addition to her teaching and research roles, Joanna Lambert is a scientific advisor to the Rocky Mountain Wolf Project, has served as an advisor to the United Nations Environment Programme, is the co-founder of the Northwest Primate Conservation Society, and is currently serving on the Species Survival Commission of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). She has held numerous editorial positions for journals such as Oecologia, PLoS ONE,Diversity, Integrative Zoology, Tropical Conservation Science, American Journal of Physical Anthropology, American Journal of Primatology, and African Primates. Joanna’s accolades include receiving the University of Texas Presidential Award for Distinguished Research, the Vilas Associate Award for Research at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, as well as the highest university – wide awards for both research (R.A. Bray Faculty Fellowship for Excellence in Scholarship) and teaching (Ersted “Crystal Apple” Award for Distinguished Teaching) at the University of Oregon. In 2003, she was named Oregon’s Emerald Professor of the Year. She was recently elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) – the largest scientific society in the world (est. 1848) – for her “outstanding contributions to the field of feeding biology” – as well being made a Fellow of the Linnean Society – the world’s oldest society (est. 1788) devoted to the study of natural history and where Charles Darwin first proposed his theory of evolution by natural selection.
Research Fellow, Curtin University Juliana is a Research Fellow and Lecturer in the Curtin School of Allied Health, a Chief Investigator in the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Digital Child and a co-lead of the Australian Children of the Digital Age (ACODA) longitudinal study. Her research focuses on young children's digital technology use, physical activity and sedentary behaviours, and health outcomes. Her research has involved both qualitative and quantitative methods, and she has particular interest in longitudinal studies. Juliana has expertise on assessment of digital technology use, physical activity, sedentary behaviour and physical health outcomes. Her research has involved assessment of digital technology use by young children and their families, exploration of people's perspectives around digital technology use, promotion of physical activity, longitudinal investigation of physical activity and sedentary behaviour using activity monitors, as well as how digital technology use practices and physical activity behaviours influence different health outcomes.
Associate Professor Leeds University Business School, University of Leeds I am an academic/policy maker. I am Assoc Prof in Work and Employment Relations, senior policy adviser to central governments and international policy-making communities, and a member of Covid19 and Climate trackers. I am affiliated with a number of European universities and the Slovene Institute of Contemporary History (INZ). Until recently, I was Director-General of Higher Education in the Slovene Ministry of Science and Education, and Director of the Noon Centre for Equality and Diversity in Business at the University of East London. I serve on several editorial boards, including Work Employment & Society, International Journal of Care & Caring, and Slovenian Sociological Association Journal Druzboslovne razprave. I investigate the intersections between the welfare state, public policy, markets across welfare states; equality, diversity and inclusion in the labour market, and sustainable workplaces. I apply comparative perspectives and innovative policy analysis methodologies and contribute to indicator development and better data infrastructure.
