Elizabeth Lewis

Elizabeth Lewis is a Senior Lecturer in Computational Hydrology at The University of Manchester and a Visiting Lecturer at Newcastle University. Her research focuses on hydrological data quality, climate impacts on hydrological extremes, and predictive modeling of flood/drought patterns using tools like the SHETRAN-GB model. She emphasizes science communication and collaborates internationally on projects like the INTENSE initiative, exploring sub-daily precipitation extremes. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to climate action and clean water.

• Research Interests: Hydrological data innovation, climate modeling, flood/drought projections, citizen science integration

Her recent articles analyze rainfall extremes, urban flood risk, and global sub-daily precipitation datasets. Collaborations span institutions worldwide, addressing topics like multi-objective urban infrastructure optimization and climate adaptation policies. Lewis leads the Groundwork KTP project (2025–2027), integrating hydrological modeling with real-world applications. She advocates for rigorous data quality control and open-access science communication.
