Working on modeling land surface processes and climate mostly for the Earth but also for Mars. Working at the University of Reading. Views are my own.
The @uniofreading.bsky.social #Meteorology Dept's Research Away-Day is all day on Monday. I helped to organize the whole Away-Day, as well as the “Upskilling with AI/LLM tools’ breakout session there, and I’ll be speaking during the breakout session about ‘AI for #Programming’. #AI

#AGU25 travel tip - if landing at MSY, take a taxi rather than rideshare to the convention center area, it’s a flat $36 for 1-2 people and you can avoid the Uber pickup chaos.

Really proud of this paper. Over the course of a year, we sampled PM2.5 in >300 houses in Bradford. This work package was led by myself and @profrosiemc.bsky.social and involved a dedicated team of atmospheric and health researchers
