The annual RMetSoc student conference brings together PhD students and early career scientist in the fields of meteorology and climate to share their work and start building network with the scientific community in the UK.
This year the conference was focus on High Impact Weather and Climate and included plenary sessions, workshops, and poster sessions to present recent findings and promote new ideas. This closely relates with the work that Pentland is doing –as part of the ICE-ARC project– to explore economic impacts associated with future changes in the Arctic Ocean due to climate change.
Fernando recently joined the team to bridge projected climate change under different emission scenarios with potential impacts on industry sectors –such as food production.
During the conference, he presented his work on multi-decadal variability in the “heart” of the ozone layer linked to the Pacific Ocean’s sea surface temperatures –part of his PhD research. “This work is crucial to distinguish between forced and unforced signals and better describe future ozone recovery,” he says.
“The aim of Pentland is to connect science and business together and this conference provided an excellent opportunity to put our work into context.”
