Elliott Sainsbury

PhD Researcher, Hurricanes and Post-Tropical Cyclones, University of Reading

I am a PhD student in the Meteorology Department at the University of Reading.

My research project is titled: 'The Role of Post-Tropical Cyclones for European Extreme Weather' - This SCENARIO funded PhD aims to improve our understanding of the importance of Post-Tropical Cyclones (PTCs) from a risk perspective across Europe, identify the key drivers of historic interannual variability of PTC impacts across Europe, and to investigate how PTC impacts may change across Europe in a future, warmer climate.

Research Interests:
Post-Tropical Cyclones/Extratropical Transition of Tropical Cyclones
Post-Tropical Cyclones and Climate Change
Seasonal prediction of Tropical Cyclones
