Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Seviour is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Exeter with 12 years' experience studying large-scale atmosphere and ocean dynamics using a blend of idealised models, comprehensive general circulation models, and observations. His research spans atmospheric circulation responses to climate change, subseasonal-to-seasonal extreme prediction, stratosphere chemistry-dynamics feedbacks, and polar atmosphere–ocean–sea ice interactions, with comparative studies of Mars and Titan highlighting a planetary perspective. Trained at Cambridge and Oxford (PhD in Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics), he has held fellowships at Bristol and Johns Hopkins, combining rigorous theory with applied modelling for prediction-relevant problems. Based in Bristol, he brings interdisciplinary insight into how stratospheric processes and cryosphere coupling modulate weather extremes—an angle that often links basic dynamical theory to operational forecasting challenges.
