Peter Cox

Peter M. Cox is from London in the U.K. and is an expert in climate change modeling. He started as the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH) Science Director for Climate Change in December 2004, having previously been at the Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research. His educational background is in physics and theoretical physics, but he spent his years at the Hadley Centre thinking about interactions between ecosystems, atmospheric composition, and the physical climate system. Dr. Cox led the team which carried out the first climate projection to include vegetation and the carbon cycle as dynamic interactive elements. He has published over 50 papers in peer-reviewed journals and is a lead-author on the 4th Assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
