Steven George

Dr. Steven George is a Research Scientist (NCAS) in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. His work focuses on climate modeling, glaciology, and atmospheric processes. He holds a PhD from University College London (2006) in the field of UK windspeed and tropical Atlantic variability. His research explores ice sheet dynamics, climate projections, and the impacts of sea level rise on ecosystems. He collaborates on projects like the FAMOUS-ice GCM and contributes to standards for paleoclimate data (PaCTS 1.0). His publications span over two decades, addressing topics from Antarctic boundary layer winds to storm surge modeling in Australia.

Key contributions include advancing coupled ice sheet-climate models and analyzing Greenland ice sheet stability. His interdisciplinary work bridges atmospheric science with marine biology (e.g., Australian fur seal studies) and coastal engineering. Collaborations involve institutions like NIWA (New Zealand) and international teams in paleoclimate research.

Recent studies emphasize energy-conserving climate models, extreme event probabilities, and data standardization. His work informs policy-relevant topics such as sea level rise and climate change impacts. George’s research integrates observational data (e.g., ice cores, ozonesondes) with numerical simulations, contributing to both theoretical advancements and applied environmental challenges.
