Professor Harry Bryden AB, PhD
Regius Professor
Professor Harry Bryden is Regius Professor within Ocean and Earth Science, National Oceanography Centre Southampton at the University of Southampton.
We are presently conducting a global climate experiment by rapidly increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere and ocean. We do not know what is going to happen, but we will know some of the results of this experiment in our lifetime.
