Dr. Daniel Green is an Assistant Professor in Nature-based Solutions at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, with affiliations to the School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society and the Institute for Infrastructure & Environment. He also holds Visiting Professor roles at the National Green Infrastructure Facility (Newcastle University) and the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh. His research focuses on urban flood risk mitigation using green infrastructure and nature-based solutions, including monitoring, assessment, and hydrological modeling.
Education: PhD from Loughborough University (urban rainfall-runoff modeling), prior roles include PDRA positions at Newcastle and Loughborough Universities, and Senior Lecturer at the University of Chester.
Research Interests: Urban flood resilience, green infrastructure performance, experimental rainfall simulations, sustainable drainage systems (SuDS), and climate change adaptation. He leads courses like 'Geography Toolbox' and 'Living Laboratory: Monitoring and Modelling the Environment', and supervises multiple PhD students focusing on topics like urban green infrastructure maintenance and coastal town planning.
Key Contributions: Developed the Green Slope Facility for controlled testing of green infrastructure, contributed to EPSRC-funded projects (e.g., Urban Green DaMS), and published extensively on flood risk management and GI applications. Collaborations include partnerships with Forth Rivers Trust, British Geological Survey, and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
Grants and Labs: Manages the Green Slope Facility and has datasets on NGIF performance. His work aligns with UN SDGs related to sustainable cities and climate action.
