Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. The two-week OxTalks freeze period starts on Monday 2nd March. During this time, there will be no facility to publish or edit events. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period. Once Oxford Events launches, you will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Lizzie has 14 years of experience working at the Met Office Hadley Centre on regional climate modelling. She currently leads a team of scientists using very high resolution (kilometre-scale) models to study climate change, with a main focus on gaining a better understanding of extreme rainfall processes and their future change. Her work has been pioneering in the field of convection-permitting climate modelling, with a high profile paper in Nature Climate Change (Kendon et al, 2014). She recently led the design and delivery of the first national climate scenarios at convection-permitting scale, as part of the UK Climate Projections (UKCP18) project. She also worked on the FCFA IMPALA project involving convection-permitting climate simulations over Africa, with the first future change results published in Nature Comms (Kendon et al 2019). Lizzie also has a key role in the ERC INTENSE project analysing intense rainfall, NERC FUTURE-STORMS project looking at changes in high impact events and is participating in the EUCP project which includes carrying out coordinated convection-permitting climate simulations over Europe. Lizzie has a PhD in atmospheric science from Imperial College London (2005), an MSc from Manchester University (1999) and a Natural Sciences (Physics) degree from Cambridge University (1998).
