About

Professor Douglas Parker is the Met Office Professor of Meteorology at the University of Leeds. Based in the UK, his research focuses on mesoscale convective systems, soil moisture dynamics, and the impacts of environmental changes on precipitation patterns. His recent work includes investigating the role of soil moisture gradients on convective systems and the effects of forest loss on dry season precipitation in the Brazilian Amazon.
