Background
The climate system acts to absorb heat, transport it around the globe and to radiate energy back to space. These simple processes manifest as complex climate and weather events, thanks to interacting dynamical processes. Our group focusses on researching the fluid mechanics and physics which produces such complexity, including modelling aspects of the climate system (either using computer simulations or in the laboratory), analysing historical climate/weather observations and predicting future trajectories. Projects in this group require background in physics, maths or computer science, and a willingness to learn about the climate system.
