Dr Chris Jack is Deputy Director at the Climate System Analysis Group (CSAG), based at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. He has a background in fundamental climate science and modelling, but more recently he has gained considerable experience in science-society engagement and communications. He is passionate about working across disciplines in complex problem spaces and his current research interest is in urban climate resilience in developing contexts. His early career was in computer science, and he is therefore able to provide strategic oversight to CSAG’s High Performance Computing facility and bit data storage services, as well as broader leadership within the research group.
