Slingo, the Chief Scientist for the UK’s Meteorology (Met) Office spoke to a Monday evening audience at the Frontiers of Geophysics Lecture, session U15A-01.“I was just getting over Climate-gate,” she said, “when all of a sudden Eyjafjallajokull went up, and it’s impact was massive. That was the first of them.”
