Clare is a member of the PCAPS Steering Group, building on the experience she gained as a member of the Steering Group of the WMO's Polar Prediction Project (PPP), which concluded in 2022.

Clare holds a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Science from the University of East Anglia (UK), an MSc in Environmental Coastal Engineering from the University Of Southampton (UK), and a PhD in Environmental Science from the University of East Anglia (UK). Prior to joining KOPRI, she was a research scientist at New York University Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Clare is also a member of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research's AntClimNow (Near-Term Variability and Prediction of the Antarctic Climate System) research program and a member of the Steering Group for the Endorsed CMIP6 diagnostic Sea Ice Model Intercomparison Project (SIMIP).

Clare's research focuses on the interaction between ice, the ocean, and the atmosphere and how changes in the cryosphere affect the global climate. She is currently involved in the K-NOW project that aims to determine the factors affecting the stability of Antarctic ice shelves and subsequent grounding line retreat.
