Welcome
I am Professor of Climate Change in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA). I am currently interested in the representations of climate change in history, society and the media; the interactions between climate change science and policy; and the construction, application and evaluation of climate change scenarios for impact, adaptation and integrated assessment. I welcome approaches from graduate students wanting to study for a PhD in any of these areas.
I was the founding Director (2000-2007) of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, a nationally distributed centre based in the School of Environmental Sciences at UEA, funded by the UK Research Councils. Earlier in my career I worked on the evaluation of climate models, the development of global and national observational climate data sets, and climate change and desertification in Africa. A longer bio and full CV can be found here along with a personal statement about climate change.

ANNIVERSARY: Just over 150 years ago - on 18 May 1859 - John Tyndall’s experiments showed the existence of greenhouse gases and therefore ‘proved’ a greenhouse effect. The New Scientist magazine - ‘The man who discovered greenhouse gases’ - and Prof Mike Hulme have marked this important birthday.
