Since my retirement as a G7 UK government scientist heading a statistical modelling section I have spent my time analysing climate data instead of pruning roses. Topics have included: Arctic sea ice, wildfires, carbon emissions, El Niño, urban heat islands, Alpine snowfall, Greenland’s ice sheet, Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, flooding, drought, hurricanes, solar irradiance, Antarctic ice shelf, CONUS cooling, sea level rise, European rainfall, and sea surface temperature - to name but a few of the many subjects covered.

In addition I have been studying fascinating topics such as Earth’s magnetic field, solar activity, geomagnetism and cosmic ray flux. Together, these projects represent a collective investment of +20k hours of analytical work over many years.
