Climate

Our climate work covers multiple topics including the polar regions, hydrology, geomorphology and paleoclimate, as well as geoengineering, policy and psychology.

Polar Climate Modelling and Change
Climate describes weather conditions over a long period, varying around the world and through time. Earth's interconnected climate systems influence, and are influenced by, human and natural activities. Work in our department covers multiple areas including hydrology, sea ice, geomorphology and paleoclimate, as well as geoengineering, policy and psychology.

 

We use a variety of scientific techniques including fieldwork, laboratory experiments, computer modelling and satellite remote sensing to advance knowledge and fill gaps in understanding. We engage with diverse groups from policymakers to space agencies to school children, facilitating two-way conversation on state-of-the-art observations, future predictions, instrumentation design and the complexity of the human response.
