About

I'm a climate scientist working for the UK National Centre for Earth Observation at the University of Leicester. My current role is as the "NCEO Leader and Research Fellow for ESM and Climate-Carbon Data Evaluation". This means I coordinate the activities for NCEO that relate to Earth System Model evaluation. I act as a member of the UK Earth System Model Core Group, a collaboration between the NERC Research Centres and the UK Met Office to develop the UK Earth System Model. My particular research interests are focused on Carbon-Climate interactions, particularly methane and fire emissions.
