Physicist and Climate Researcher, Imperial College London
I’m Senior Lecturer in Climate Science at the Grantham Institute for Climate Change and the Environment, Imperial College London and Honorary Research Associate of the Environmental Change Institute, University of Oxford. I work on answering the question of whether and to what extent human-induced climate change alters the likelihood and intensity of extreme weather events and, in particular, how these changes and extreme events affect people across the world.

Even small changes in the likelihood of extreme events can have a big influence on societies and affect the way we have to deal with and be prepared for them.
The most basic response we have to extreme weather is to stop burning fossil fuels as fast as possible.
We have 1°C of global warming, but what does that entail? The answer is that the likelihood and intensity of extreme weather events are changing.
