Professional summary
Rosanna (Rosie) Lane is a hydrological modeller specialising in modelling climate change impacts on river flows, floods and droughts at the national scale. Her research interests include large-sample hydrology, model intercomparison and benchmarking, model development, and climate change impacts.
Rosie is currently working on a model intercomparison project (the UK Hydro-MIP) comparing streamflow simulations from a range of machine-learning, hydrological and land surface models across Great Britain. This will help us understand our current modelling capability, inform model selection and identify targeted areas for model improvement.
She is also exploring potential extreme widespread flooding events that are plausible within our current and future climates, using a large ensemble of climate model simulations from the CANARI project.
