Amy Fallon

Amy Fallon is a Research Fellow in the Department of Built Environment at Aalto University, specializing in Water and Environmental Engineering. She holds a Master's in Social Sciences and a Bachelor's in Natural Sciences from the University of East Anglia. Her work focuses on water governance, resilience theory, and sustainable development goals, particularly in dynamic social-ecological systems. Fallon has contributed to projects in South Africa, Cambodia, and Indonesia, exploring governance challenges in water scarcity, hydropower impacts, and environmental policy.

Key research interests include navigating wicked water governance problems through science-policy-practice collaboration, resilience-thinking applications in vulnerable regions, and leveraging water security to advance Agenda 2030. Her work frequently addresses normativity in policy design and equity in social-ecological transformations.

Fallon has published extensively on water governance complexities, including the 2022 doctoral thesis *Keep it Complex*, and co-authored studies on hydropower trade-offs and drought co-occurrence analysis. She received the Aalto Excellence Award (2018) and Aalto Pioneering Excellence Award (2021) for collaborative research contributions.

Her activities include conference presentations on topics like drought co-occurrence analysis and participatory governance frameworks. Fallon’s research integrates interdisciplinary approaches to address global environmental challenges, emphasizing the need for adaptive governance in dynamic socio-hydrological systems.
