How can we Expand wind energy in Europe?

I am part of a pannel discussing how prolonged low wind events and future climate change may impact Europes wind power generation. Test

Gone with the wind

I talk to Decouple podcast about wind droughts and how they've impacted the European power sector

Just Another Science Show

How will climate change affect renewable energy generation? Join Dr Hannah Bloomfield for a discussion on wind and solar power generation in a changing climate. Along the way Hannah chooses a selection of her favourite tunes and chats about the joy of getting lost in a good book.

Bristol 24/7 Podcast

Is Bristol Taking the lead on wind energy? In episode 81 of the Behind the Headlines podcast, we speak to Dr Hannah Bloomfield, a research scientist at the University of Bristol, who has spent the last eight years studying the impacts of climate variability and climate change on national power systems. We examine concepts such as wind droughts and how these affect energy production and how our city is making the most of its energy production capabilities.

Early Career Researcher Stories

Hannah's research focus is on Climate resilient net-zero energy systems. A key goal of her work is to demonstrate how weather and climate information can be clearly communicated to end users including: industry professionals, other academics, policy makers, and the general public.

Science Communication schemes

Here are some details of both National and International Science communication schemes that i've been involved in over the last few years. These are all quite low commitment (I think the most intense was a few hours a term) but very rewarding! Check out their websites for more information.

Letters for a Pre-Scientist

Letters to a Pre-Scientist connects students to STEM professionals through snail mail to broaden students ’ awareness of what STEM professionals look like and do at work and inspire all students to explore a future in STEM.

Skype a Scientist

Skype a Scientist has a database of thousands of scientists and helps them connect with classrooms, families, libraries, scout troops, and more all over the globe! We give students the opportunity to get to know a real scientist and get the answers to their questions straight from the source.

Curious Kids

Curious Kids is a series by The Conversation, which gives children of all ages the chance to have their questions about the world answered by experts.

Soapbox Science

Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists and the science they do.

STEM climate ambassadors scheme

Climate Ambassadors is a new initiative led by the University of Reading, UKRI and STEM Learning to mobilise experts within the climate sector and support them with engaging with young people and educators.
