This assessment is based on improved observational datasets to assess historical warming\, a s well progress in scientific understanding of the response of the climate system to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions." --IPCC 2021\n\nCambridg e Centre for Climate Science and Cambridge Zero invite you to a panel disc ussion about the recently published IPCC Working Group I report\, Climate Change 2021: the Physical Science Basis.

After graduating as a chemist\, he has studied ice cores from the Antarctic and Greenland for the past 40 yea rs\, using them to understand changing climate\, as well as changing level s of pollution in remote areas. He also carries out research into the chem istry of the lower parts of the Antarctic atmosphere. Until June 2013\, h e led a programme at the British Antarctic Survey. He chaired the science committee of the European Project for Ice Coring in Antarctica (EPICA)\, which produced 800\,000 year records of climate from the Dome C (Antarctic a) ice core and for many years co-chaired the international initiative (IP ICS) to coordinate future ice core research. He currently holds an ERC Ad vanced Grant that studies the past stability of the West Antarctic Ice She et. His main research goal is to understand the causes of climate evolutio n over recent glacial cycles. He also chairs the Royal Society’s working party on climate change\, leading a number of public and policy-facing re ports.\n\nNicolas Bellouin\, University of Reading\n\nNicolas Bellouin is a Professor in Climate Processes at the University of Reading. He is inter ested in the role of aerosols in the Earth System: the coupling with atmos pheric chemistry\, the cryosphere\, the ocean\, and land surfaces. He is i nvolved in the Climate Forcings research project of the Copernicus Atmosph eric Monitoring Service\, the development of the UK Earth System Model dev elopment UKESM and the Advancing the Science for Aviation and Climate (ACA CIA) EU H2020 project. He was a Lead Author of Chapter 3 Human Influence o n the Climate System of the 6th Assessment Report of Working Group I of th e Intergovermental Panel on Climate Change\, and a Coordinating Author of the Technical Summary of that report.\n\n\nStephanie Henson\, National Oce anography Centre\n\nProf Stephanie Henson is a Principal Scientist at the National Oceanography Centre and Honorary Professor at the University of S outhampton. She leads an active research group in global biogeochemical oc eanography\, currently made up of 20 research staff and students. Her part icular research interests aim at understanding natural variability and cli mate change effects on phytoplankton populations and subsequent impacts on the biological carbon pump. Her research exploits autonomous vehicles\, s atellite and in situ data\, as well as output from biogeochemical models. In 2012\, she received the EGU Award for Outstanding Young Scientist for h er 'fundamental contribution to the study of marine ecosystems'\, in 2016 she was awarded a highly competitive European Research Council Consolidato r Grant\, and in 2018 she became the Challenger Society Fellow for Biologi cal Oceanography. She is a lead author on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 6th Assessment Report\, on the chapter "Carbon and other biogeochemical cycles and feedbacks".\n\n\nDan Lunt\, University of Bristo l\n\nI carried out my undergraduate degree (MPhys) in Physics at the Unive rsity of Oxford (1994-1998)\, followed by a PhD in Meteorology at the Univ ersity of Reading (1998-2002). After a postdoc at the Laboratoire des Sci ences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE) in Paris\, I moved to the Sch ool of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol in 2003. In 201 4 I became Professor of Climate Science. I have been a visiting scientist at Stockholm University\, and am currently an Affiliate Scientist at the National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder\, Colorado. In 2010 I was awarded the Philip Leverhulme Prize for my work on climate mode lling. From 2007-2015 I was the founding and Chief Executive Editor of th e journal Geoscientific Model Development (GMD). I lead the international DeepMIP program (www.deepmip.org)\, and am a Lead Author of Chapter 7 (Th e Earth's energy budget\, climate feedbacks\, and climate sensitivity) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report (AR6). \n\nHelene Hewitt\, Met Office\n\nHelene Hewitt studied Maths at Cambridge University before studying for a PhD in Physical Oceanography at the National Oceanography Centre in Southampton. During her PhD she parti cipated in a cruise as part of the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOC E) program and was a fellow at the Woods Hole Summer School. Since 1996 sh e has worked at the Met Office where she currently leads the Ocean Modelli ng Group and is a Met Office Science Fellow. At the Met Office\, Helene wo rks on the development and evaluation of ocean\, sea ice and coupled model s (with a particular emphasis on exploring resolution) and leads the UK Jo int Marine Modelling Programme. She is a visiting professor at the Univers ity of Southampton. Helene is one of the Coordinating Lead Authors of the recently released IPCC Working Group 1 Sixth Assessment Report where she c o-led the chapter on Ocean\, Cryosphere and Sea Level Change.
