Andrew Orr

Biography

I work within the Atmospheric, Ice and Climate team of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), carrying out research into the processes responsible for climate variability and change in the polar regions, Himalayas, and Andes. This is important because these regions are particularly vulnerable to a wide range of climate change impacts  This is predominately achieved using regional atmosphere models and global climate models.
Research Interests

  • Antarctic climate change and impacts on surface mass balance and ice shelves.
  • Climate change and water resources in the Himalayas and Andes.
  • Regional climate modelling.
  • The dynamical response to the Antarctic ozone hole.
  • Mountain wave-induced polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) and impacts on polar stratospheric ozone depletion.

Supervision of students

  • 2020-present Marc Girona-Mata, PhD (with University of Cambridge) “A machine learning approach to mapping local-scale hydro-meteorological regimes in the Himalayas ” (Primary supervisor).
  • 2020-present Kenza Tazi, PhD (with University of Cambridge) “Local alpine precipitation from large-scale data: a probabilistic machine learning approach” (Co-supervisor).
