About Douglas

Professor Douglas Parker is Professor of Meteorology at the University of Leeds, with a joint position in the School of Earth, Environment and Sustainability and the School of Mathematics. He holds a PhD in Meteorology from the University of Reading and an MA in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge. His research examines the physics and fluid dynamics of the climate system, focusing on the dynamics of weather systems such as cumulonimbus storms, cyclones, and monsoons in a changing climate. Through observational and theoretical studies, his group develops models to understand these systems' interactions with global circulation, their societal impacts, and contributions to improved weather and climate predictions. Notable studies include soil moisture influences on West African rainfall and cloud processes in UK storms, informing Met Office forecasting systems.
