I am Co-Director, with Professor John Pyle in Department of Chemistry, of the University of Cambridge Centre for Atmospheric Science.
I participate in the EU Integrated Project SCOUT-O3 which is being coordinated in Cambridge by Professor Pyle and colleagues at the European Ozone Research Coordinating Unit. SCOUT-O3 has 59 partner institutions from across Europe as well as Russia, the USA and Argentina. The central aim of SCOUT-O3 is to make reliable predictions of the future evolution of the ozone layer and surface UV and particularly to investigate the effect of climate change on these factors. As such it addresses the interaction between the Montreal Protocol on ozone depleting substances and Kyoto Protocol on climate change. The project has a number of components which include complex computer modelling of the atmosphere, a large field campaign involving aircraft and balloons in the tropics, measurements and modeling of UV radiation, laboratory studies and the use of satellite data.
I am Acting Director of the University of Cambridge Institute for Aviation and Environment which has recently been set up to co-ordinate and extend relevant research activity within the University.
I lecture at the annual GEFD summer school held in Cambridge each September. Software for computer demonstrations used at the GEFD summer school, and associated documentation is now freely available.
I am on the organising committee for a series of LMS-sponsored meetings on 'Scalar Mixing in Fluid Flows and Mappings'. Details of meeting in Cambridge on 20 April 2005 here.
I am on the organising committee for the Royal Meteorological Society Dynamical Problems Group . Details of meeting 9 June 2005 on 'Statistical/stochastic approaches to atmospheric physics' (in Reading) here.
I am a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the SPARC core project of the World Climate Research Programme. The preliminary programme for the 4th SPARC General Assembly can be found here. A report on the SPARC Tropopause Workshop organised by Ted Shepherd, Volkmar Wirth and myself in April 2001 is available.
I co-organised a summer school on Transport and Mixing in Geophysical Flows in Cargese, Corsica, in August 2001. Bernard Legras, who was Director of the School, has maintained the web-site, which includes lecture notes from many of the lecturers.
I was one of the organisers of an ESF scientific programme Transport in Atmospheres and Oceans (TAO) which ran from 1996 to 2000. There is limited useful information left on the TAO website, but there is a downloadable (PDF) brochure on the programme.
