Ulysse Pasquier

Researcher in Hydrology and Climate Change Adaptation

Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research

I am a Senior Research Associate in Climate Adaptation at the University of East Anglia and a member of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. My research focuses on helping human systems prepare to deal with the impacts of climate change and future hydrological extremes. I am particularly interested in understanding flooding hazards and investigating solutions in vulnerable environments such as low-lying coasts and cities.

This work is currently set within the Horizon 2020 EU-Project CoCliCo, which is developing an online platform to help manage our response to sea level rise in Europe.

[R] Incidence of Thyroid Cancer in post-Chernobyl Belarus - Making an Animated Map
HBO’s latest mini-series Chernobyl is both haunting and gripping in retelling the events that followed the night of April 26th 1986. The show is not only a fascinating window into the Soviet world that once was, it also serves as a contemporary reminder of “what is the cost of lies”, to quote the final episode’s ultimate line.

[R] Plotting results from extRemes package - Extreme Value Analysis
If you are familiar with Extreme Value Analysis (EVA) in R you will have likely come across the extRemes package, written by Eric Gilleland. The package’s main function, ‘fevd()’, fits an extreme value distribution to data.

The environmental paradox behind the Tianjin explosions
From water scarcity to air pollution, without forgetting world-leading greenhouse gas emissions, China is facing a multi-faceted environmental crisis. I was able to witness the extent of the issue first hand when I studied Environmental Management at Tsinghua University in Beijing as part of a joint program with the French university Mines ParisTech.
