Research interests
Joe is an applied climate scientist focusing on climate risk communication and the development of climate information services for decision-makers. He is a Science Manager in the International Climate Services team at the UK Met Office and holds a joint position as a Senior Research Fellow in the Faculty of Science through the Met Office Academic Partnership (MOAP).
His work involves collaborating with organisations across the world to develop climate services and improve the uptake and use of climate information to guide climate change adaptation decisions, primarily in Africa and Asia. Joe's research is interdisciplinary, spanning climate science and social sciences, with a focus on understanding how to best integrate climate information into decision-making and policy. He is particularly interested in the communication of climate uncertainties, assessing interpretation of different types of climate information, and understanding the role of different actors in the development and delivery of climate services.
