Johanna is an adaptation scientist whose work involves creating evidence-based models to support decision makers in climate adaptation policy. While climate adaptation is often seen as a future issue, Johanna’s work focusses on ensuring these considerations are incorporated into current decisions and planning systems. Johanna has established a new research strand of adaptation heuristics that identifies commonly used rules of thumb in how decisions on adaptation are made and evaluates their robustness. This has enormous benefits in providing more targeted and evidence-based strategies at local, regional and state levels.
Johanna is also a leader and mentor for early career women looking towards careers in STEM. She thrives on being, and focusses on being, a public face for her field via science communication to ensure that women and girls see themselves reflected in seminars, conferences and presentations.
