Professor Danny Feltham

Professor of Climate Physics

Responsibilities

  • Professor of Climate Physics
  • Research Division Leader for Climate

Research Interests

  • Danny leads a research group in polar oceanography, with a strong focus on sea ice. He is a Principal Investigator of the UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling
  • Danny uses principles of mechanics and thermodynamics to devise new mathematical models, and has developed physically-based parameterisations suitable for implementation into climate models.
  • This work combines the development of new theory with numerical simulations and laboratory experiments, and utilises field measurements and remotely-sensed observations.
  • This work provides fresh insights into broad scientific questions, such as: When and how will the Arctic Ocean become ice free? How will change in the sea ice cover affect spin up of the Arctic Ocean? How can we predict sea ice skilfully on seasonal and shorter timescales?

Teaching and supervision

  • Danny has previously taught courses in glaciology, climate physics, and physical oceanography.
  • He currently teaches a graduate course on geophysical fluid dynamics: MTMWFAO Fluid dynamics of the Atmosphere and Oceans.
  • Danny typically supervises PhD students in the broad area of mathematical modelling of the polar regions, ranging from more theoretical, process studies to polar climate modelling.

Brief Biography

  • Danny earned a BSc. in Physics from Durham University in 1993. He worked for the UK Ministry of Defence as an Operational Analyst, before winning a scholarship in 1995 to study for a Ph.D. in Fluid Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Sea Ice, awarded in 1998 from Cambridge University. His PhD, in the broad area of applied mathematics, involved mushy layer theory, perturbation methods, and stability analyses.
  • Danny joined University College London as an Academic Fellow in Climate Physics in 1999, being promoted to Lecturer in 2002, and to Reader in Polar Oceanography in 2005.
  • Danny joined the University of Reading as Professor in Climate Physics in 2012.  

Research Group in Sea ice and Polar Oceanography

  • Sea ice is an important component of the global climate, e.g. it strongly impacts atmosphere-ocean heat fluxes, greatly increases the Earth’s albedo and contributes to thermohaline forcing of the ocean.
  • Sea ice is also a sensitive indicator of climate change: there have been well-publicised, strong reductions in Arctic summer sea ice extent in the past decades. The last few years have seen very dramatic losses of Antarctic sea ice also.
  • The observed reduction in the Earth's sea ice cover has implications for climate, trade, wildlife, society, and oil exploration.
  • Measuring, understanding, and predicting changes in sea ice and the polar oceans requires a broad range of expertise and is essentially interdisciplinary. Much of Danny’s research, although quite specialised, is collaborative and contributes to broader-themed research projects.
  • Danny’s group comprises a number of postdoctoral researchers and PhD students (typically with strong backgrounds in physical science and/or mathematics) and most of its research falls into the following areas:

Opportunities

  • I am happy to hear from prospective PhD students or Postdoctoral Fellowship applicants interested in the above research areas.
