I'm a professor in the Climatic Research Unit, part of the School of Environmental Sciences. I do research on climate dynamics, which is about understanding the circulation and variability of the climates of Earth and other planets, and how they can change over time.
A strong focus of my research is understanding how our climate will change over the coming century with the addition of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. I carry out my research using a range of techniques from simple conceptual ideas to large state-of-the-art global circulation models.
