She has worked on rivers all over the world, from her research on numerical analysis[1] of extremes of hydrological changes and models to predict future change due to climate change and the impacts on infrastructure.[2][3] In 2024, Beevers was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.[4]
Beevers has worked at Heriot-Watt University (2010-2022), IHE-Delft Netherlands (2007 -2010) and prior to that as a civil engineer for Jacobs (2003-2007). She has conducted research on river systems all over the world, but had particular focus on the Nile and Zambezi Basins in Africa and the Mekong in Asia.
