Dr Mick Kelly is a Reader with the Climatic Research Unit CSERGE at the University of East Anglia, Norwich. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics and Meteorology at Reading University, Mick Kelly undertook postgraduate research on climatic change at the newly-formed Climatic Research Unit. Receiving a doctorate in 1976, he has pursued an interdisciplinary research path, focusing on the causes of climatic change, combining both empirical and modelling approaches, and the societal relevance of climate variability. Author of over one hundred scientific publications, Mick Kelly was a member of the team that produced the definitive temperature record used in global warming detection studies. He has contributed to various international reviews of the global warming and nuclear winter issues. His primary research areas include: global warming, volcanic effects, solar influences, the El Nio Southern Oscillation phenomenon, and other potential causes of climatic change; climate prediction; Arctic climate and sea-ice conditions; climate history, particularly during the instrumental era; climate and development; and environment and society. His research has been funded by British Petroleum, the Central Electricity Generating Board, the US Department of Energy, the Greater London Council, Greenpeace International and the Natural Environment Research Council, amongst others. Currently, he is involved in an interdisciplinary study of climate vulnerability in Vietnam, funded by the ESRC. Mick Kelly is also undertaking a long-term training, information provision and research programme directed towards strengthening the capacity of developing nations to respond to climate change |  |
