Climate change scientist

As a geography teacher I always wanted to equip students with the skills and knowledge to look at the world around them, ask questions about it and begin finding answers. As links between climate change and human involvement became more clearly identified and that solutions to the problems it was causing needed finding, I decided change career slightly and apply my educational skills and understanding to meet this pressing challenge. Followng the completion of my PhD at queen Mary, university of London I joined the university of oxford to work fellow climate scientists in helping decision makers better adapt to climate impacts in the uk and abroad.
