England, Matthew H. (1966 - )

Summary

Matthew England in renowned internationally for his expertise in ocean modelling, particularly of the Southern Ocean. His research focuses on global-scale ocean circulation and physical oceanography and their effects on climate. He has played a leading role in international efforts to address climate change, including as a contributing author to two Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Assessment Reports, and as convening lead author of the 2009 Copenhagen Diagnosis. In 2007 England founded the Climate Change Research Centre at the University of Sydney.

Details

"Matthew England is Australia's leading ocean modeller and the world's foremost authority on the modelling of the Southern Ocean. He was the first to successfully capture Antarctic water-masses in global climate models. England is also the world's leading scientists in the modelling of deep ocean ventilation using tracers: he pioneered the use of geochemical and age tracers, and was the first to use CFCs to assess ocean model skill. England has also changed our view of the ocean's role in regional climate variability and climate dynamics, with a particular focus on the Southern Hemisphere and climate over Australia."
