We study Earth’s past, present and future climate using remote sensing, fieldwork, laboratory and modelling techniques.

We conduct field investigations all over the world, from the Arctic through mid-latitude and equatorial regions to the Southern Ocean. By designing and executing laboratory experiments and sample measurements on site at UCL and at international facilities, we probe Earth’s climate history and investigate the controls on physical and chemical processes. Computer models help us to simulate past and present climate scenarios, as well as to make predictions about possible futures. We work with space agencies on satellite mission development and data products for remote sensing of Earth from space.
