Dr Louise Slater is an Associate Professor in Physical Geography, a Tutorial Fellow of Hertford College, Oxford, and an honorary Visiting Fellow in river science at Loughborough University. She holds a PhD in Earth and environmental sciences from the University of St Andrews (UK) and was a graduate of the Ecole Normale Superieure (France).

Louise’s research in river science focuses on attributing and forecasting changes in fluvial systems and hydrological extremes in the context of contemporary shifts in both climate and land cover, over daily to multidecadal timescales. In her work, Louise develops computational, data-driven and ensemble-based methods for understanding and projecting fluvial and hydroclimatic change.
