Our expertise spans engineering and architecture disciplines related to understanding and combating the impact of extreme weather events in areas including:

adapting to climate change's impact on natural and built environments
decarbonising industrial and agricultural processes, carbon sequestration and carbon capture
the physical and chemical properties of Earth's atmosphere and its interaction with components of the Earth system
the variability of the climate system and the causes of climate change

Our responsibilities include leading research projects, supporting grant applications, supervising PhD students, and teaching.
