Julie studied Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich. She then obtained her PhD from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU) at UEA in 1998. Following a short postdoc in CRU she moved to a postdoctoral position at the palaeoclimate research group at the GKSS Research Centre in Geesthacht (near Hamburg) in Germany, where in 2005 she became group leader.
Julie took up a lectureship in climatology in the Department of Geography in Sheffield in August 2006. She is now Senior Lecturer in Climate Science.

As a climate scientist, I enjoy bringing across to students how and why meteorology and climate is relevant to a wide range of geographical disciplines.
For example understanding how the climate system works (Atmospheres and Oceans), how and why current climates are changing (Contemporary Climate Change and Processes), to the potential impacts of climate change on developing countries (Living with Climate Change in the Global South).
