In the latest 2019 Shanghai Global Ranking (www.shanghairanking.com) of Academic subjects the University of Leeds is 7th in Atmospheric Science, moving up 6 places since 2018: http://www.shanghairanking.com/Shanghairanking-Subject-Rankings/atmospheric-science.html Atmospheric Science is also 9th in the latest (2017) CWUR rankings: https://cwur.org/2017/subjects.php#Meteorology%20&%20Atmospheric%20Sciences Well done to everyone doing Atmospheric Science at Leeds and thereby...

Regional stratification at the top of Earth’s core due to core–mantle boundary heat flux variations Earth’s magnetic field is generated by turbulent motion in its fluid outer core. Although the bulk of the outer core is vigorously convecting and well mixed, some seismic, geomagnetic and geodynamic evidence suggests that a global...

Congratulations to fourth year EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) student Thomas Goodfellow (http://www.fluid-dynamics.leeds.ac.uk/student-profiles/thomas-goodfellow/) who won the prize for best poster at this year’s UK Fluids Conference, held at Manchester, 4-6th September 2018. Thomas’ research considers the instabilities of elevator modes in oscillatory double-diffusive convection, the full poster is available...

Anew research project will use Direct Statistical Simulation to investigate the Sun’s magnetic field. The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded an advanced grant of €2.5 million (£2.2m) for University of Leeds Professor of Applied Mathematics Steve Tobias to spearhead a new research project, Direct Statistical Simulation of the Sun and...

After seven highly productive years in Sheffield, we are very excited to have relocated the Centre for Computational Imaging and Simulation Technologies in Biomedicine (CISTIB, www.cistib.org) to the University of Leeds. We look forward to building similarly close and productive partnerships in Leeds, which capitalise on the unique opportunities that the city offers...
