Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFiona Clubb is an Associate Professor of Earth Surface Processes at Durham University with 12 years of experience applying geospatial data and numerical tools to decode how tectonics and topography shape uplifting mountain landscapes. Her research links digital elevation analysis to earthquake-generating faults, sediment storage, and flood hazards across mountain ranges, translating complex geomorphic signals into actionable hazard and landscape evolution insights. She is an active scientific software developer in C++ and Python and co-developer of the widely used open-source LSDTopoTools for topographic analysis, bridging academic research and reproducible tools. With a PhD-driven background in fluvial networks and postdoctoral experience combining geoscience and data science, she brings both field-grounded intuition and large-scale data expertise to interdisciplinary problems.
