Our research – both fundamental and integrated

We are addressing fundamental questions in understanding and predicting our changing climate and its impacts over seasons, decades and beyond across a range of applications.

The Walker Institute is composed of a number of internationally renowned research groups from across the University of Reading which cover a wide range of expertise: meteorology, oceanography, agriculture, geography, hydrology, ecosystem processes and soil science.

We are pioneering a new approach which exploits and integrates this wide range of climate expertise.
