| Biographies |
 | Prof Alan O'Neill (Chief Executive Officer):
Alan is the Director of the Data Assimilation Research Centre,
and until recently he was the Director of the Centre for Global
Atmospheric Modelling, both at the University of Reading. Previously
he was an individual merit scientist at the Met Office, and he retains
many contacts with that organisation. He has 25 years' experience of
climate research, and has sat on many national and international
committees. Alan has degrees from Oxford (MA), Reading (PhD) and the
Open University (MSc). He has made numerous broadcasts on radio and
television to explain topical issues on climate change to the general
public. |
 | Dr Rowan Sutton (Director, Business Development):
Rowan holds a Royal Society Fellowship at the University of
Reading. After completing a BA in Natural Sciences at Cambridge, he
spent a year at Harvard as a Henry Fellow, and then took a DPhil in
atmospheric physics at Oxford. He is currently completing a part-time
MBA. Rowan is an internationally recognised expert in the ocean and
atmosphere science on which seasonal weather forecasting relies. In
1997 he moved to the University of Reading where he has built up a
sizeable research group in the area of climate forecasting and its
applications to business. |
 | Dr Emily Shuckburgh (Director, Business
Development): Emily is currently Director of the School in
Geophysical and Environmental Fluid Dynamics at Cambridge
University. She took a BA in applied mathematics at Magdalen College,
Oxford, a PhD in atmospheric physics at Trinity College, Cambridge,
and then was elected to a Fellowship at Darwin College, Cambridge. She
has also spent time working at the École Normale
Supérieure in Paris and MIT in Boston. In 2002 she was voted
'Smartest woman in Britain' by an expert panel for a BBC
magazine. |
 | Dr Warwick Norton (Director, Technology):
Warwick is a Senior Research Scientist at University of
Reading. Previously, Warwick was an Advanced Research Fellow for the
Natural Environmental Research Council at Oxford University. Warwick
has degrees from the University of Canterbury, New Zealand (BSc Hons)
and University of Cambridge (PhD). He has nearly 20 years' experience
in climate research and has published over 30 papers in the scientific
literature. In particular, he has developed some important techniques
which are now widely used in the atmospheric science
community. |
 | Dr Jo Pelly (Senior Technical Officer): Jo
has been responsible for much of the research and development
undertaken by Weather Informatics since she joined the company in
2001. She has a BA in physics (Oxford), and an MSc and a PhD in
meteorology (Reading). Her PhD research specialised in the
probabilistic predictability of atmospheric blocking, which is a key
factor in determining European weather, and she has written a number
of influential papers on the subject. |
