"His ability to represent the qualities of geraniums using colour is excellent." Mr. Burns, Art Teacher (1995) News! Jan 2010, NERC project funded: a three year project to further understand the impact of the stratosphere on convective storms gets the green light. Dec 2009, new blog: I've started a new blog looking at anything to do with weather and climate andyrussell.wordpress.com Convective Storms I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) in Prof. Geraint Vaughan's Dynamic Meteorology group at the University of Manchester. The aim of my research is to understand how thunderstorms form. In particular, I am interested in the impact of upper level atmospheric features. My work involves analysing observational data, mainly from the Convective Storm Iniation Project (CSIP) and the German run COPS (Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study) campaign and I also use computer models. I'll be focusing on the development of atmospheric lids during the COPS work. You can find more details of my CSIP work here and there's a quick overview of my COPS work here. Atmospheric Signals in an Antarctic Ice Core I did my PhD at the University of Birmingham and the British Antarctic Survey; my viva was in April 2005. The aim of that research was to identify atmospheric circulation signals in an Antarctic ice core. If you'd like to read more about that work, then click here. Publications etc. I've included a list of my publications to date on this website and, where appropriate, there is a pdf copy available. This page also includes a list of conference presentations and posters that I have given. Public Engagement and Professional Resposibilities I have been doing quite a few things outside of my research, such as chairing the committee of the North-West Local Centre of the Royal Meteorological Society (RMetS) and trying to encourage kids into science through my work as a NOISEmaker. There's more details on this work, and some other things I've been doing here on my Outreach page. CV I've put a short version of my CV on this website. If you'd like to take a look, the pdf is here. Links There's a page of links that will be of use if you wish to find out more about CSIP, my PhD supervisors or societies/professional organisations of interest to meteorologists. There's also a couple of personal links there too. Finally, thanks for visiting www.andrewrussell.co.uk. Please come again!
