Climate Econometrics

Biography

Luke studied Geophysics for his undergraduate degree at the University of Leeds, which included a year abroad studying at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His final year project concentrated upon variability of the Geomagnetic field. Following this he completed a PhD at University of Leeds where he conducted research in to sea-level change in the circum-Caribbean region. Luke was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Climate Econometrics group and is now Assistant Professor at Durham University.
