I am a Professor in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia.
My research is on dynamical and physical processes that are important for weather forecasting and climate prediction; in particular mesoscale dynamical meteorology, air-sea interaction, atmospheric forcing of the ocean and North Atlantic climate. I am regarded as an international expert on these processes in the polar regions.
I am interested in real weather systems: what they look like, how they work physically and how we can describe them mathematically. Hopefully such work will lead to a better understanding of the climate system and improvements in forecasting and modelling the atmosphere and ocean.
I received the 2017 Adrian Gill Prize from the Royal Meteorological Society, which recognises significant multi-disciplinary meteorological research achievements over the preceding 5 years.
I am currently Associate Dean for Research for the Faculty of Science.
