Currently Ben is evaluating the simulation of biomass burning aerosols in HadGEM3 using observations from the South American Biomass Burning Analysis (SAMBBA). This research will help to improve the simulation of aerosols in HadGEM3 and develop a better understanding of the impact of biomass burning on climate and the Earth System.
Ben also contributes to the evaluation and development of the United Kingdom Chemistry and Aerosol (UKCA) modal aerosol scheme.
Ben is current working with aerosol researchers from the University of Leeds School of Earth and Environment, the University of Reading Department of Meteorology, and the University of Manchester Centre for Atmospheric Science.
Ben is also interested in the communication of climate science and in 2015 undertook a secondment in the Knowledge Integration team of the Hadley Centre.
