Dr Margot Saher of Bangor University is a postdoctoral research associate studying how the various aspects of the climate system such as atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns, land and sea ice, sea level and the marine ecosystem interract. Margot is also a member of the BRITICE-CHRONO project which is mapping the ice sheets that once covered much of Britain.
Professor Ian Hall, head of the School of Earth & Ocean Sciences at Cardiff University, and member of C3W, the Climate Consortium of Wales and has studied ocean conditions during key periods of past climate change.
Professor Andrew Thomas, of Aberystwyth University, teaches a global climate change course for MSc students, which is wide ranging, and includes climate scepticism and media coverage of global warming.
