Poor urban air quality and the threat of terrorist attacks by spreading a hazardous substance in cities are a real concern for public safety and health. Read more
What we plant and how we manage our gardens can have a significant impact on the environment. Domestic gardens cover up to 30% of UK urban areas, and recent research has linked garden plant characteristics (in terms of their structure and function) with provision of key ecosystem services.

Climate change, population growth and human intervention within river channels and catchments make it more challenging than ever to provide reliable information on the current and future state of water in the world's rivers. Read more
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a system of currents in the North Atlantic which involves warm water flowing northward in the upper ocean, balanced by a southward ‘return’ flow of cold water at depth. Read more
Decadal prediction is a rapidly growing field that forecasts the evolution of regional climate several years to decades ahead by using information from the current state of the climate. Read more
Monsoon depressions (MD) are synoptic-scale features that are responsible for a significant fraction of the rain over northern India during the summer monsoon season. Read more
Dust storms are a major driver of poor air quality in many parts of the world, particularly in West Africa. During dust storms particulate matter thresholds are regularly exceeded, contributing to premature mortality. Read more
Climate change will likely increase monsoon rainfall around the world but lead to greater variability and extremes. However, global climate models (GCMs) disagree on the pattern of warming of tropical sea surface temperatures (SSTs) as well as the regional changes in monsoon rainfall. Read more
Reconstructing present-day and past ocean temperature salinity and circulation states is critical both to making long-range weather and climate forecasts and for understanding how the ocean has responded over the last century to imbalances in the Earth’s energy budget due to global warming. Read more
In a changing climate, an improved ability to forecast hazardous weather is key to the management of risk for society. In weather forecasting systems, large numerical models solve nonlinear equations describing physical processes in the atmosphere. Read more
Are you fascinated by the complex models and systems that are used to produce weather forecasts? Are you a physicist/engineer/mathematician/meteorologist/computer scientist who would like to work towards a PhD with the Met Office in this important area of scientific endeavour?. Read more
The Mediterranean basin is among the most cyclogenetic regions in the world and Mediterranean cyclones can lead to devastating socio-economic impacts for coastal communities. Read more
Weather affects both electricity supply and demand, for example during still and cold winter days when low supply from wind turbines coincides with high demand for heating. Read more
How much climate change we might get in future depends on feedback loops that can amplify or dampen climate change. Atmospheric chemistry plays a crucial, but neglected part in these feedbacks. Read more
