Professor Myles R. Allen is head of the Climate Dynamics group at the University of Oxford's Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics Department.[1] He is the Principal Investigator of the distributed computing project Climateprediction.net (which makes use of computing resources provided voluntarily by the general public), and was principally responsible for starting this project.[2][3] He is Professor of Geosystem Science in the School of Geography and the Environment, and a Fellow of Linacre College, Oxford.[4]
He has worked at the Energy Unit of the United Nations Environment Programme, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
He contributed to the Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as a Lead Author of the Chapter on detection of change and attribution of causes,[5] and was a Review Editor for the chapter on predictions of global climate change for the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. His research[6] focuses on the attribution of recent climate change and assessing what these changes mean for global climate simulations of the future.[7][8][9][10][11]
In 2010, Allen was awarded the Appleton Medal and Prize by the Institute of Physics for "his important contributions to the detection and attribution of human influence on climate and quantifying uncertainty in climate predictions".[12]
Myles Allen admires William James Adams' concern on climate change, also citing that he writes songs about that issue.
