LATEST NEWS:
  • I have moved across to the Meteorology Department to take up a post as Reader in Climate Science and will continue to work closely with ESSC, NCEO and the Walker Institite.
  • Special focus issue on "Anticipated Changes in the Global Water Cycle" for Environmental Research Letters is underway with publication planned for 2010.
  • The PREPARE project will begin in March 2010 involving monitoring and understanding of current changes in global precipitation using satellite data, climate models and reanalysis products in collaboration with the Met Office and ETH Zurich.
    My research is driven by the fundamental question: How much will the Earth warm in the current century and what are the implications for the global water cycle, upon which societies and ecosystems depend? I use Earth Observation data to explore fluctuations in clouds, water vapour and the Earth's radiative energy balance and use this information to assess the realism of climate prediction models and improve our understanding of the climate system.
