Draft:Kieran Hunt

  • Comment: For academic notability we need one of the criteria from WP:NACADEMIC to be demonstrated/sourced and I can't see a criteria that applies here. With an h-index of 24 it suggests WP:TOOSOON. If NACADEMIC does not apply then another possibility is the WP:GOLDENRULE which requires fully independent reliable sourcing, ideally three such examples.

InstitutionsUniversity of Reading
National Centre for Atmospheric Science

Kieran M. R. Hunt is a British-American meteorologist and climate scientist at the University of Reading and the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS). His research includes tropical meteorology, extreme weather, and machine-learning applications in meteorology, as well as applied meteorology such as hydrology and energy security.[1][2]

Education and career

Hunt studied physics at the University of Oxford and then did a PhD at the University of Reading, on the subject of Indian monsoon depressions.[3] In 2022, he was awarded a NERC Independent Research Fellowship. [3][4] At Reading, Hunt is the co-chair of the Hub for Applied Weather and Climate.[5]

Research

Hunt's work has focused on South Asian meteorology, especially Indian monsoon depressions, monsoon low-pressure systems, and western disturbances.[1][3] He has also worked on the use of interpretable machine-learning methods in meteorology, including research on gradient-boosted decision-tree models for monsoon low-pressure systems.[6]

Public engagement

Hunt has written and spoken publicly about weather and climate topics including El Niño, La Niña, AI weather prediction, and western disturbances.[7][8][9]
