Biography

I am a climate scientist at the Met Office Hadley Centre, where I lead the Climate Sensitivity and Feedbacks Group. My main research interests are: feedbacks in the climate system in response to radiative forcing; climate model estimates of climate sensitivity and its uncertainties; cloud processes and feedbacks, in particular cloud radiative effects; global climate modelling and evaluation.
