Ms Jess Penny

I am a diligent and conscientious person with a passion for water science. I have always held a keen interest in geography and climate resilience and in trying to make the world a better place for humanity and the environment, especially in the face of our unprecedented times. Alongside my professional work I am a keen runner and am often found on the trails of Dartmoor with my 3 year old lurcher, Ralph.

Since finishing my PhD I have worked as Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the University of Exeter’s Centre for Water Systems, on a number EU H2020 projects including RECONECT, ARSINOE, NATALIE and ICARIA. Over the last year most of my work has surrounded the topics of Climate Change resilience and Nature Based Solutions. My interests lie within the realms of;  Water Resources Management,  Land Use Change Modelling, Climate adaptation and community resilience, Nature Based Solutions, Geographical Information Systems and Public Participation (stakeholder engagement) within Research.
