As the main Met Office Scientist in the international REPRESA (REsilience and PREparedness to tropical cyclones in Southern Africa) project, Josh works with state-of-the-art high-resolution regional climate models (CP4A, RAL3.1) analysing historic tropical cyclones and re-modelling their formation and impacts in warmer climates. To prepare for the societal impacts of climate change, his research supports vulnerable communities to design more effective early warning systems and adaptation measures as part of REPRESA. Josh has aligned his work to a PhD project which he is undertaking with the University of Reading. Josh also volunteers as a Climate Science Communications Trainer with RMetS.
