معرفی
Richard P. Allan is a Professor of Climate Science in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading, United Kingdom. He is affiliated with the National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) and the Walker Institute, and has previously worked at NCAS Climate and the Met Office. He served as a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report.
His research focuses on Earth's energy budget, climate change, and the global water cycle, utilizing Earth Observation data to assess climate models and understand atmospheric processes. Key areas include radiative forcing, cloud dynamics, precipitation extremes, and ocean warming. He has led significant projects such as the NERC DEEP-C consortium.
The 15 most recent publications highlight sustained contributions to understanding climate system responses, particularly in energy imbalance, water vapor trends, aerosol-cloud interactions, and precipitation variability. Articles appear in high-impact journals like Nature, Science, and Geophysical Research Letters, reflecting broad expertise in climate modeling, satellite remote sensing, and hydrological impacts.
