Dr Iestyn Woolway's research focuses on the physical interactions between climate and water, with a particular interest in the physics and hydrology of lakes worldwide. This includes aspects such as climate-induced variations in lake evaporation, water temperature, ice cover and energy fluxes. Using a combination of in-situ, satellite, and modelled data, his research aims to answer key questions that relate to climate-related changes of inland waters. He graduated from Bangor University in 2011 with a BSc and MSc in Physical Oceanography and then undertook a PhD in Physical Limnology at University College London (2011-2015). Dr Woolway was then a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading (2015-2018). In 2018, Dr Woolway was awarded a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship, hosted at Dundalk Institute of Technology (Ireland), followed by a European Space Agency Fellowship in 2020 - based at the ESA Climate Office in Oxfordshire. In 2021, Dr Woolway was awarded a UK Natural Environment Research Council Independent Research Fellowship. He joined the School of Ocean Sciences as a NERC Independent Research Fellow (Reader) in 2022.

  • Citations and contribution to BAMS annual report: State of the Climate in 2021

    State of the Climate is the authoritative annual summary of the global climate published in the Bulletin of the American Meteorology Society (BAMS).

    The report provides a comprehensive update on Earth’s climate indicators, including notable weather events and other data collected by environmental monitoring stations and

    instruments located on land, water, ice and in space.

    The report is led by scientists from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centres for Environmental Information and published by BAMS and is based on collaborative contributions from more than 530 scientists.

    Iestyn had a leading role in two key sections of the report including on Lake ice and Lake surface temperature.

  • Listening to the Lakes: what lakes are telling us about climate change, and how we can listen to them

    Composer Andrew Lewis and scientist Iestyn Woolway discuss how lakes can help us understand climate change, and how this data can be used to make music. Lakes and reservoirs are a critical natural resource, supporting biodiversity and providing many benefits to people around the world. But lakes are critically susceptible to climate change, especially the increase in global temperatures. Climatic warming can have a huge influence on the physical environment of lakes, including warming of surface water and effects on water levels Ultimately, the physical environment of lakes is responding dramatically to a warming world. In this talk, Iestyn Woolway will discuss the response of key lake variables to climate change, and Andrew Lewis will explain how this data has been used in composing his new piece ‘Two Lakes’.
