on to study for an MSc in Atmosphere & Ocean Dynamics, provided by the Institute of Climate and Atmospheric Science (ICAS) at the University of Leeds. After university, Andrew worked for 1.5 years in the sustainability sector where he developed methods and visualisations to help large organisations and governments track their environmental impact.

, University of Leeds in 1998, and completed a PhD in Physics in the same department in 2002.   Peter's work in the orography group has previously focused on understanding the conditions that lead to "rotor" formation induced by lee-waves in different mountainous locations. More recently his interests

works in the Nowcasting team, developing new observations-based tools to aid in nowcasting and situational awareness, with a focus on hazards associated with deep, moist convection. In 2021, Matt completed a PhD at the University of Leeds on tornadoes along cold-frontal rainbands, developing

in the UK:  Communication of uncertainty This project, led by the University of Leeds, reviewed empirical studies from the cognitive and psychological sciences exploring non-experts’ responses to uncertain climate information. We produced two infographics to illustrate the findings from this project.  UK

in altocumulus clouds: through part-time study at University of Leeds School of Earth and Environment through the Met Office Academic Partnership. This followed time in industry, monitoring airborne asbestos particle concentrations, and a physics degree from University of Sheffield (MPhys, 2002) where he undertook a research masters developing thin-film toxic-gas detectors.

of Private Secretary to the Chief Scientist, working in support of Prof. Dame Julia Slingo OBE FRS. Huw completed a PhD at the University of Leeds, investigating the dynamics of boundary layer flows over steep terrain. As part of his PhD work, Huw took part in a field campaign measuring wind and turbulence over a steep ridge in the Swiss Alps. As an undergraduate, Huw studied Physics with Meteorology at the University of Edinburgh.
