Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling
(CPOM)
The Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling
(CPOM) is a research centre that studies processes in the Earth's
polar latitudes that may affect the Earth's albedo, polar
atmosphere and ocean circulation, and global sea level. CPOM is
funded by the Natural Environment Research Council and has research
groups in the Department of Earth Sciences at University College
London, at the Bristol Glaciology Centre at the University of
Bristol and in the School of Geosciences at the University of
Edinburgh.
Successful research in the polar regions depends on wide range of
scientific and technical collaborations. In addition, CPOM seeks to
encourage exchange of scientific views and ideas and welcomes
sabbatical or other visits from active scientists and technologists
who may add to its present or future research programme.
CPOM pursues a wide range of projects as part of its program,
typically of three years duration. The CPOM website contains
summaries of the projects and provides a good summary of the range
and nature of CPOM research performed by CPOM staff and students.
CPOM has a seminar series and hosts scientific meetings on polar
matters of national interest.
