Emily Shuckburgh

Prof Emily Shuckburgh is Director of Cambridge Zero, the University of Cambridge's major climate change initiative, and Professor of Environmental Data Science at the Department of Computer Science and Technology. She is also Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Her work includes leading a UK national research programme on the Southern Ocean and its role in climate. She is a Fellow of Darwin College, Cambridge, and holds several other fellowships. She is Academic Director of the Institute of Computing for Climate Science and co-Director of the Centre for Landscape Regeneration and the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training on the Application of AI to the study of Environmental Risks (AI4ER).

Emily Shuckburgh is a climate scientist at the University of Cambridge, focusing on climate science with an emphasis on atmospheric transport, Southern Ocean dynamics, and climate modeling. Her research explores the role of effective diffusivity in diagnosing atmospheric transport, the representation of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in climate models, and the impacts of Arctic sea ice loss on Northern Hemisphere weather. She also investigates the potential of artificial intelligence in conservation and the implications of net-zero emissions policies. Her work contributes to understanding climate system feedbacks and improving predictive models for future climate scenarios.
