About

I am a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Exeter. I’m working on better understanding the feedbacks which determine how sensitive the Earth’s climate is to changes in its energy balance. More details of my work, and contact details, can be found on my homepage. This blog is for bits of interesting science I come across (both my own work and that of others). I write occasional paper reviews which aim to summarise interesting research in a non-technical way.

I also share some thoughts in general about climate science, sustainability and public engagement. Some of these opinions are subject to change and open to criticism – hence the ‘tiny soapbox’!

Before coming to Exeter I did my PhD at the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, studying some of the ways stratospheric aerosol geoengineering could affect the atmosphere.
