Previously, I was at Reading University, Meteorology Dept. and was the UK\u2019s first Professor of Earth System Science. In 2007 I was awarded a Royal Society Wolfson Merit award and in 2014 was awarded the Milutin Milankovic Medal from the EGU for his research on past climate change.<\/p>\n<p>I have published almost 200 peer-reviewed papers on aspects of past, present, and future climate. Some relevant highlights of his research include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The first high resolution model integration for the Last Glacial Maximum<\/li>\n<li>The first successful General Circulation Model simulation of the initiation of an ice sheet<\/li>\n<li>A new interpretation of Cretaceous climate equability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have been a lead PI on the first phase of the Grid ENabled Integrated Earth system model project (GENIE), which developed a new Earth System model of Intermediate Complexity and was also the lead PI on the QUEST project \u201cClimate and Biogeochemical Cycles during the Last Deglaciation\u201d. I was also the founding leader of the Bristol Research Initiative for the Dynamic Global Environment (BRIDGE). At NERC, I have chaired the HPC committee for more than 8 years, served as a member of the National Capability Advisory Group, and was one of the first members of the peer review college pool of chairs. I am also a non-executive director of a carbon management company Greenstone.<\/p>\n<p>Contact details:\u00a0<strong>p.j.valdes@bristol.ac.uk<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Website:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bristol.ac.uk\/geography\/people\/paul-j-valdes\/overview.html\">University of Bristol staff page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Publications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bristol.ac.uk\/geography\/people\/paul-j-valdes\/publications.html\">Publications record<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am currently a Professor of Physical Geography in the &#8230; <\/p>\n<p><a class=\"read-more btn btn-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/people\/paul-valdes\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":21,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":352,"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2\/revisions\/352"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/21"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.umbrella.bridge.bristol.ac.uk\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
