November 2024 - Novel research projects joining expertise at Met Office and The Wildlife Trusts sow the seeds for further research on climate and nature.

There are strong relationships between climate and the natural world. Habitats and wildlife often suffer as a result of climate changes, but they are also a key part of the solution, helping us to build resilience to current and future change.   The UK is one of the most nature depleted countries

such as air quality modelling and climate change research.  Career Background After completing an Honours Degree in Physics and an MSc in Environmental Science, Noel worked for a short period based at Essex University, where he was engaged in research investigating atmospheric inputs to the North Sea

summer sunshine. After that, however, the jet stream shifted much further to the south, with low-pressure systems often bringing rather wet and windy conditions to the UK through much of July and August. “The characteristic variability of the UK’s climate has once again been illustrated by this summer

, these projections should be viewed as indicative of the overall magnitude of changes we might see over the 21 st Century. For both the surge and wave projections, we are unable to quantify the relative influence of the climate change signal and natural variability on the simulated changes over the 21
