I work in the Institute for Climate and Atmospheric Science in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds. I'm an Advanced Research Fellow funded by NERC. Humans are changing the Earth System, altering the climate and transforming ecosystems with negative impacts on environmental services and human welfare. My research aims to understand interactions between the biosphere, atmosphere and human activity. Our recent study on the impacts of forests on tropical rainfall is published in the journal Nature. Read our paper here along with a "News and Views" that gives some background and wider context written by Luiz Aragao. Our paper linking forests to tropical rainfall is reported in Planet Earth Online and widely in the international media. You can find a list of places here. Our recent paper on the role of forests in particle formation is published in PNAS and reported in Planet Earth - Online Our paper on climate change and wildfire in the news Our recent paper on how boreal forests can cool the climate is featured in the Guardian. See media coverage of my recent report The Root of the Matter: Carbon Sequestration in Forests and Peatlands.
