I was delighted to be part of this programme just released today on the #ClimateCrisis hosted by @briancoxtalks.bsky.social with @georgemonbiot.bsky.social, @kathrynbrown.bsky.social and Myles Allen

New paper and special issue celebrating 40 years of the @britishhydrosoc.bsky.social royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

I am honoured to have been awarded a @royalsociety.org Faraday Discovery Fellowship. My EXTREME-FUTURES project will develop a new seamless framework to improve global predictions of hydroclimatic extremes @newcastleuni.bsky.social www.ncl.ac.uk/press/articl...

📢 Britain faces a climate & nature emergency. On 27 Nov, eight leading experts will brief 800+ leaders from politics, business, culture, faith & media. An unfiltered overview of the latest threats & solutions. Only by facing it can we rise to the challenge. www.nebriefing.org

New PhD - full funding for UK/Irish applicant - start Jan 26 - Design and evaluation of multi-functional Blue Green Infrastructure under climate change tinyurl.com/42s8rade: Clare Walsh, Vassilis Glenis & myself, Newcastle Uni. Part of Co-Centre for Climate + Biodiversity + Water lnkd.in/e5g6nz6V

Hydrology Paper of the Day @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social @vikkithompson.bsky.social on linkages between convective rainfall events and global warming: mini-ensemble models; application of a hydrostatic regional climate model; and increases in extreme events with an increase in global temperatures.

We are looking for new members of the Met Office Hadley Centre Climate Programme: Science Review and Advisory Group, which I chair - deadline 13th August. www.metoffice.gov.uk/research/app...

This is a very nice new paper I was involved in. It is a very powerful new method for investigating the thermodynamic effects of climate change on rainfall extremes, with some quite sobering results showing very large increases in intensity.

I'll be on the panel for this podcast with @briancoxtalks.bsky.social next week. We are talking about climate adaptation. You can be part of the audience (sign up in the link below) #ClimateCrisis

I'm advertising an 18-month post-doc position to produce a sub-daily blended rainfall dataset over the UK and Ireland - 28176 Research Assistant / Associate Islands of Britain and Ireland. jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastl... Closing date 3 June 2025.

Many thanks to Prof @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social and her team @newcastleuni.bsky.social for hosting us! Great to share our first-year wins and hear all about their incredible Climate+ research.

Abstract submission now open for the UK National Climate Impacts meeting. Climate and health focus on one day, and a general impacts/risks focus on the other. We would love to see you. @eunicelo.bsky.social @richardabetts.bsky.social @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social www.climatebristol.org/projects/nci...

Green et al. outline 2024 rain extremes, finding: - Many record-breaking events - Several events were made more intense by warming - Compound events were common www.nature.com/articles/s43... (rdcu.be/ehm0B) @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social @nclengineering.bsky.social @tyndallcentre.bsky.social [7/n]

The video in this montage is extraordinary- and not in a good way. “Historic” life-changing flooding in so many spots. We have irreversibly changed our planet in ways that will compound and debilitate. (On a lighter note, I apparently made a cameo)

Come and join us to work as a Climate Hub Project Manager for the northeast UK region on the Climate Ambassador project funded by the DfE - deadline to apply is 13 April jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastl...

The situation at Heathrow today should make us think more about infrastructure resilience, dependencies and cascading risks. Especially with extreme weather risks increasing so rapidly from climate change. theconversation.com/heathrow-fir...

What's the energy mix for the UK's power right now? Last week? Last month? Since 2012? Perhaps, like me, you're late to the party on these excellent visuals and resources from software dev Kate Morley: grid.iamkate.com

The jet stream that helped dump a foot of snow on the Gulf Coast is now accelerating over the Atlantic, helping fuel the strongest storm on record over Ireland with 100 mph gusts and 50 ft waves! It is so strong NOAA sent a hurricane hunter to Ireland to collect data! #Eowyn

Storm Eowyn is now developing a hook shape associated with sting jets and their devastating high winds. Increasing frequency of these storms is consistent with climate change. Climate models predict compounding risks from higher winds & large rainfall increases www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

I'm currently advertising for 2 post-doc positions: (1) role of natural climate variability in modulating climate projections (2) developing a weather generator for UK and Ireland for climate projections - jobs.ncl.ac.uk/job/Newcastl...

The next UK National Meeting on Climate Impacts and Risks will be held at Bristol on 18/19th Sep 2025. Day1 is all impacts/risks, and Day2 is health focussed. Academic, industry and policy makers all welcome. Stayed tuned for updates and sign up @richardabetts.bsky.social @hayleyjfowler.bsky.social
