Dr William Seviour (he/him)

I am a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and Global Systems Institute.

I joined Exeter in 2020 following a PhD in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Planetary Physics at Oxford, a postdoc in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Johns Hopkins University, and a research fellowship in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol. 

For more details on my research and my group, see my personal website (which I am better at keeping up-to-date). 

I am interested in understanding the large-scale dynamics of the atmosphere and oceans of Earth (and sometimes other planets too). I use a combination of idealised models, comprehensive general circulation models, and observational data. Current research topics include:

• Atmospheric circulation and its response to climate change
• Subseasonal-to-seasonal prediction of weather extremes
• Stratospheric chemistry-dynamics feedbacks
• Atmosphere-Sea Ice-Ocean interaction
• Polar vortex dynamics of Mars and Titan
