Met Office
Chris Jones is a Research Fellow at the Met Office Hadley Centre, and Professor in Climate Science at the University of Bristol. He has over 30 years’ experience of climate modelling, with particular focus on climate-carbon cycle feedbacks – i.e. how natural systems respond to climate change but also affect it by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. He has led research into how this question can drive global climate policy and has been multiple times IPCC author. He is currently leading a WCRP assessment into how sensitive the Earth System is to emissions of CO2 and how the climate system will respond if we either stabilise global temperature or remove CO2 in a way which can reverse global warming.
