Earth System Science Group
Earth Systems Science Group
The Earth System Science Group, led by Tim Lenton focuses on understanding the Earth as a whole system, comprising life and its environment, including the atmosphere, ocean, sea-ice, land surface, ice sheets, and crustal rocks.
Research
The group's research interests span the full range of Earth system timescales, from the formation of the planet 4.6 billion years ago to current and future human-induced global change.Their primary research tools are a spectrum of Earth system and smaller models, which they are actively developing. The group use the models with available data to test hypotheses about Earth system function. They are particularly interested in the ongoing co-evolution of life and the environment.
