Jonathan M. Gregory FRS is a climate modeller working on mechanisms of global and large-scale change in climate and sea level on multidecadal and longer timescales.

Education

Gregory was educated at Stanborough School, Welwyn Garden City, the University of Oxford, where he was awarded a degree in Physics, and the University of Birmingham, where he was awarded a PhD in experimental particle physics in 1989.

Career and Research

Gregory is currently a senior scientist in the Climate Division of NERC's National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS-Climate), located in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading; and a Research Fellow in climate change at the Met Office Hadley Centre.

A 2004 study, led by Gregory and published in the journal Nature, predicted that the Greenland ice sheet is likely to be eliminated as a consequence of global warming, resulting in a rise in global sea-levels by 7 meters over the next 1000 years or more.

He was a co-ordinating Lead Author of the 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report chapter 11 Changes in Sea Level [1], and a contributing author to the sea level chapter in the IPCC Second Assessment Report". Gregory was also a co-Lead Author of the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report chapter 5 Observations: Oceanic Climate Change and Sea Level, and chapter 10 Global Climate Projections. IPCC was a co-recipient (with Al Gore) of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize for its work on climate change.

In 2010 Gregory was awarded an Advanced Grant by the European Research Council to carry out research on sea level change.

Awards and honours

In 2017 Jonathan Gregory was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.
