JULES meeting 2018
The annual JULES meeting. Always a good time – and lots of moves by the community to make JULES more useable and robust. 🙂
iLeaps Conference
iLeaps (Integrated Land Ecosystem-Atmosphere Process Study) have a conference every four years, so it’s an opportunity not to be missed. I gave a talk on Climate Engineering with Nitrogen fertilisation, which has generated a good bit of discussion. I also caught up with a lot of colleagues from CEH and the Met Office and other …
ICDC10 Conference
Glaciers, Nitrogen and climate change
JULES Annual Science Conference 2017
As ever, a fun couple of days hearing about the work being done with and on JULES. I gave a talk about my work with the Nitrogen cycle, in particular the 21st Century ‘geoengineered’ runs.
AGU 2016
This year at AGU I was kept busy with chairing a session on Land-use change and giving a talk on biodiversity over the last 300 Ma. I was the organising convenor for the land-use session, which was very successful, with two oral sessions and over 50 abstracts submitted. There was a who’s-who of LUC, with …
AGU 2015
A last minute decision to go to AGU gave me a rare opportunity to go to this conference without the stress of having to present. So I had a load of fun going to lots of seriously interesting sessions on Nitrogen, land-use, and vegetation dynamics, and also meet up with lots of people. That last …
CRESCENDO meeting
CRESCENDO is the new EU project doing similar climate model improvement work to the EMBRACE project that I’m employed on presently. This was the kick-off meeting, which though I’m not directly involved, Pierre Freidlingstein invited me to come along as a potential post-doc for the project and get a feel for the group and the …
Workshop on CMIP5 Model Analysis and Scientific Plans for CMIP6
This meeting was a combination of analysis of results from CMIP5 and looking forward to planning CMIP6, spanning all the range of CMIP activities, from sea ice to land use. It had a format I haven’t seen before, with each presenter having both a poster and a one minute ‘advertisement’ talk at the beginning for the two …
EMBRACE Final General Assembly
This was both my first EMBRACE meeting, and also the last one, as I joined the project just a year before it ended. Despite that, it was familiar names and faces, and I gave a brief talk about the work I did which bridged work-package 3 and work-package 5. It was great to see how my …
Jules meeting 2015
The defining aspect of the Jules meeting is the discussion: sometimes intense and often loud, there is a mix of mercy, generosity and harsh honesty that I feel is motivated by science and practicality rather than ego. I was kept busy catching up with people as ever, explaining what I’m working on now including a poster …
