Jonathan Michael Gregory FRS is a climate modeller working on mechanisms of global and large-scale change in climate and sea level on multidecadal and longer timescales[2][3] and the Met Office and the University of Reading.[4]
Education
Gregory was educated at Stanborough School, Welwyn Garden City and the University of Oxford.[4] He completed his postgraduate study at the University of Birmingham where he was awarded a Doctor of Philosophy degree in experimental particle physics in 1990[5] for work on the UA1 experiment at CERN.[1]
Career and Research
Gregory is currently a senior scientist in the Climate Division of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS-Climate), located in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading; and a Research Fellow in climate change at the Met Office Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research.[6]
A 2004 study, led by Gregory and published in the journal Nature,[7] predicted that the Greenland ice sheet is likely to be eliminated as a consequence of global warming, resulting in a rise in global sea-levels by 7.1 meters over the next 1000 years or more.[8]
He was a co-ordinating Lead Author of the 2001 IPCC Third Assessment Report chapter 11 Changes in Sea Level[9], and a contributing author to the sea level chapter in the IPCC Second Assessment Report".[10] Gregory was also a co-Lead Author of the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report chapter 5 Observations: Oceanic Climate Change and Sea Level,[11] and chapter 10 Global Climate Projections.[12]
Selected publications
Gregory's research collaborators include Tom Wigley,[4] Phil Jones John Mitchell. His publications[2] include:
- Coastal and global averaged sea level rise for 1950 to 2000[13]
- On the consistent scaling of terms in the sea ice dynamics equation[14]
- Simulated and observed decadal variability in ocean heat content[15]
- Threatened loss of the Greenland ice-sheet[7]
- The role of the Atlantic freshwater balance in the hyteresis of the meridional overturning circulation[16]
- An observationally based estimate of the climate sensitivity[17]

- Comparison of results from several AOGCMs for global and regional sea-level change 1900-2100[19]
Awards and honours
In 2010 Gregory was awarded an Advanced Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) to carry out research on sea level change.[20][21] . In 2017 Jonathan Gregory was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS).[22] The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was shared by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and Al Gore for their work on climate change.[23]
