Dr Bethan White

Bio

Bethan is a Senior Research Fellow at 21st Century Weather, where she leads the Centre's atmospheric modelling. Bethan has previously worked at the Bureau of Meteorology, and at Monash University, the University of Oxford (UK) and Leeds University (UK). She has spent time as a lecturer, and has an extensive research career in atmospheric modelling spanning global model development to high-resolution convective-scale modelling. Bethan has a background studying the dynamics and cloud physics of atmospheric deep convection and the generation of rain from convective processes. She is an expert in high-resolution convective-scale modelling and cloud microphysics, and her research interests include the development of new physics parameterisations, the representation of convection and cloud processes in models, and process-based analysis. She works closely with colleagues across the world, has coordinated international model intercomparison projects, and sits on the scientific steering committee of the Aerosol, Clouds, Precipitation and Climate Initiative (ACPC).
