Sebastian Steinig

I am a climate scientist at the University of Bristol, working to understand how and why the climate system changes through time. I combine computer models with observations and palaeoclimate reconstructions to understand and constrain the physical mechanisms of past and future climate change.

I am particularly interested in making our complex climate data accessible to more people, from scientists in other disciplines to policy makers and the general public. I develop hands-on, interactive visualisations to share the beauty of the underlying environmental data and give people new tools to make informed, data-driven decisions about their own futures. I am currently developing the Climate Archive platform to allow anyone to explore hundreds of millions of years of climate change and put it in the context of projected future climate change.
