Areas of expertise I'm a physicist. My research is in testing climate models against the past to give us more confidence in their predictions for the future. I'm also working within a large EU project (ice2sea) to predict the Greenland and Antarctic contribution to sea level rise over the next 200 years.

I'm particularly interested in how to quantify uncertainty in these predictions, and how to communicate our uncertainties to the public.
