Jerome Neufeld

Professor Jerome Neufeld is Deputy Director of the Centre for Climate Repair. He is a Professor of Earth and Planetary Fluid Dynamics jointly appointed at the Institute for Energy and Environmental Flows, the Department of Earth Sciences and the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge.  The research in his group focuses on using mathematical models, laboratory experiments and field observations to understand the fluid dynamical behaviour of the Earth and other planetary bodies.  Current research interests include subglacial hydrology and geoengineering in the cryosphere, the solidification of magma oceans and the early generation of magnetic fields on planetary bodies, the erosive dynamics of idealised river systems, and the fluid dynamics of geological carbon storage where he has contributed to reduced models of spreading and trapping.  Professor Neufeld has a PhD in geophysics from Yale University and a B.A.Sc. in Engineering Science (physics) from the University of Toronto, and is a Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge.
