I am the Director for NCAS Scientific Service, Facilities & Training (SSF&T) and before that I was one of the three joint heads of the Atmospheric Measurement and Observation Facility (AMOF) and I am also one of the leads of the NCAS-Observations Data Project.

My research interests cover surface meteorology, boundary-layer dynamics and atmospheric remote sensing in particular when it is applied to Arctic regions and volcanic ash monitoring. I’m very much a hands-on scientist and have spent more time than I care to consider in the field: be that literally in a field, on ships, or in a range of research aircraft, and have acquired skills and experience in the development of instruments and adaptation of emerging technology to atmospheric observational needs.
