Research Interests

Undertakes research into extreme natural events and especially the long term natural record of these events. Examples include long-term natural records of tropical cyclones, tsunamis and river floods. These records provide a more realistic guide to the long-term behaviour of these hazards and can be used as a basis for estimating their return intervals and for risk assessment. Prof. Nott has published many articles on these topics in international science journals and has provided the first detailed review of the techniques involved in reconstructing these long-term records in his book ‘Extreme Events’ published by Cambridge University Press.
