University of Reading

Professor of Earth System Science

Responsibilities:

School Director of Recruitment and Admissions

Research Interests:

Modelling of the terrestrial carbon cycle - focusing on the response of vegetation to climate change
Radiative transfer in vegetation - including applications to optical remote sensing and retrieval of biophysical parameters
Data Assimilation for land surface and ecosystem models

Research Projects

Active Research Projects:

I am a Principal Investigator on the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO). The focus of my work within NCEO is using satellite observations to test and constrain models of the land surface.
I am Principal Investigator on the NERC SPLICE project, which is providing new understanding on the role of 3D canopy structure in land models.
I co-lead the TAMSAT group. TAMSAT is the University's operational rainfall product for Africa.
In EOCIS we have taken TAMSAT rainfall data to generate new estimate of the water balance for Africa, using the JULES model.
In the European Space Agency Land Carbon Constellation and Terrestrial Carcbon Cycle Assimilation System I am developing SIF models to act as observation operators.

Recently Completed Research Projects:

The Sentinel Synergy Study (S³) was funded by the European Space Agency and looked at at developing synergistic joint retrievals from the Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 missions.

Postdoctoral & graduate student supervision

Post Doctoral staff:

Ranjini Swaminathan works on the UKESM-LTSM TerraFIRMA developing new evaluation tools for Earth System Models.
Meg Stretton is the lead research on the NERC SPLICE project.
Natalie Douglas works on developing data assimilation routines for land surface models.

Current PhD students:

Khomkrit Onkaew works on understand the information in observations of Solar Induced Fluorescence.
Sammy Petch is developing new budget modelling of the terrestrial water energy and carbon budgets. Lead supervisor: Prof Keith Haines, Meteorology
Caitlin Jones is developing models of the impact of afforestation on water balance. Lead supervisor: Prof Anne Verhoef, SAGES

Completed PhD students:

Helen Johnson is based at the Met Office completed their PhD on the effect of black carbon deposition on snow with a specific focus on weather forecasts.
Linda Toca worked on SAR analysis of peatland health in collaboration with the James Hutton Institute.
Amsalework Ejigu worked on data assimilation in JULES using ensemble Data Assimilation techniques.
Victoria Boult is used Idividual Based Models and satellite data to look at the behaviour of African elephants. Lead supervisor: Prof Richard Sibly, Biology.
Kirsten Lees researched the productivity of peatlands and how this might be observed with satellite data. Lead supervisor: Prof Jo Clark, Geography.
Ewan Pinnington worked with Forest Research to understand the information content in diverse observations of forest carbon stocks. The specific aim is to better define observation errors for the data assimilation problem. This was a NERC OPEN CASE award.
Renato Braghiere developed new representations of 3D structure for simple radiative transfer models.
Jennifer Price,funded by the National Centre for Earth Observation, graduated in 2015. Her thesis "Assessing the Definition of Plant Functional Types in a Dynamic Global Vegetation Model Using Earth Observation Data" uses remote sensing data to test and constrain a dynamic global vegetation model (SDGVM).

Other interests

I am on the steering committee of the AIMES Land Data Assimilation Working Group.
I am on the Management Board of the JULES land surface model.
Various software packages are available on GitHub. This includes extensive two-stream vegetation canopy and leaf geometry Python modules.
I actively maintain my own version of the GORT model.
Code for my 2016 paper on Bayesian uncertainty in land cover data is available here. The paper is open access https://doi.org/10.3390/rs8040314 (see also publications list).
