Dr. Douglas I Kelley

I am currently working on the UKs Earth System Modelling project (https://ukesm.ac.uk/), evaluating and building in new processes to the land-surface component, JULES (https://jules.jchmr.org/). My main focus is the evaluation of causes of tree disturbance and representation of fire in dynamic vegetation models.
