Our team work together to understand the diverse family of planetary climates. Using a suite of numerical tools in 1D, 2D and 3D, covering a range of complexities, our focus is understanding the key physical processes which control the climates of exoplanets, and how these processes behave in different planetary environments. Our work is interdisciplinary, joining researchers from Astrophysics, with Earth System Science, and collaborating closely with the Met Office. Our modeling framework includes the Unified Model (UM) of the Met Office, with the associated radative transfer code SOCRATES, as well as chemical equilibrium and kinetics codes, and land-surface models. We also use the ATMO code, whose development is led by Pascal Tremblin (please contact Nathan Mayne or Pascal Tremblin for more information).
We are, or have been, supported by various funding sources which made our work possible. These include: UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, The Leverhulme Trust, UKRI Science and Technology Facilities Council, The Hill Family Scholarship, IOP Bell Burnell Graduate Scholarship, Met Office, DiRAC Research Software Engineer and the University of Exeter.
