Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Hunt is a Senior Research Scientist with nine years' experience applying metrological rigour to satellite Earth Observation to produce reliable climate data records. Based at the UK’s National Physical Laboratory, he specialises in optical and thermal infrared calibration, harmonisation and uncertainty analysis across the processing chain, with hands-on work on Sentinel-3 and historic record reanalysis projects like FIDUCEO. He blends instrument-level understanding from an ESA traineeship with statistical uncertainty methods to translate raw satellite measurements into auditable climate products. Comfortable presenting to scientific audiences and developing practical tools (e.g., a radiometric uncertainty plugin for Sentinel Toolbox), Sam focuses on traceability and quality assurance that enable robust long-term climate trend analysis.
