Testimonials
Dr Helen Johnson
It was the Force 8 gale I experienced while sailing across the North Sea as a trainee on the tall ship Sir Winston Churchill that finally inspired me to study meteorology! My degree provided a solid grounding in basic physics as well as the workings of weather and climate – I loved the theoretical as well as the practical sides of it.
Prof Andy Challinor
I wanted to put my physics degree to a practical use. My research brings together meteorology, agriculture and socio-economics to try to help improve global food security.
Ben Suter
I write, monitor and amend forecasts for aviation, commercial and infrastructure industries in Darwin, Australia where I will also be more heavily involved in things like cyclone warnings and volcanic ash advisories.
