Prior to this he worked in the MathematicsDepartment at Oxford University having obtainedhis PhD in Numerical Analysis from Imperial College in1987. His main responsibilities are to provide state of theart regional climate modelling systems and to provide andanalyse regional climate change scenarios and advice onthese as required under contracts for various UK governmentdepartments and international bodies. He developedregional climate modelling in the Hadley Centre, overseeingmany major firsts in the field worldwide - developmentof a consistent GCM/RCM modelling system; domain-sizeexperiments; climate timescale experiments driven by numericalweather prediction analyses; multi-decade regionalclimate change experiments; development of GCMs to providehigh quality boundary conditions for RCMs; ensembleregional climate change experiments. He is a lead or majorcontributing author to many fundamental publications inregional climate modelling including being a lead author ofthe IPCC’s Assessment Reports (2001, 2007). He led thedevelopment of the regional climate modelling system PRE-CIS, has worked with many European institutes and is currentlyworking with institutes across all continents in thefields of climate prediction and climate scenario development.Among his major publications are: (with Jones, R.G.; Hassell, D.C.; Hudson, D.; Wilson, S.S.; Jenkins, G.J.;Mitchell, J.F.B, 2004: Workbook on generating high resolutionclimate change scenarios using PRECIS (Exeter, UK:Met Office Hadley Centre – New York: UNDP); (withChristensen, J.H.; Hewitson, B.; Busuioc, A.; Chen, A.;Gao, X.; Held, I.; Jones, R.; Kolli, R.K.; Kwon, W.-T.;Laprise, R.; Magaña Rueda, V.; Mearns, L.; Menéndez,C.G.; Räisänen, J.; Rinke, A.; Sarr, A.; Whetton, P., 2007:“Regional Climate Projections”, in: IPCC (Ed.): ClimateChange 2007: The Physical Science Basis.
