Across Peru, thousands of people do not have access to clean water or efficient transport links. He is investigating the connection between poor transport links and social inequality, and bringing sanitation to a remote community in the Andes. HOW DOES PUBLIC TRANSPORT AFFECT INEQUALITY?

Oceans are a key part of the Earth’s climate system, responsible for transporting heat and storing carbon from the atmosphere, and several large ocean current systems contribute to this. This is partly responsible for Europe having a warm climate, as the AMOC transports up to 25% of the Northern Hemisphere’s atmospheric and oceanic heat.

Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. Chemistry with Dr Nicole Hondow and Stuart Micklethwaite. Most RSEs have a degree and/or PhD in their chosen area, such as maths, physics or chemistry.

And indeed particularly in chemistry and engineering it’s often been in the background, justifying all the computations routinely done using entropy. He introduced the Boltzmann Transport Equation which allows one to compute at least certain non-equilibrium properties of gases. So what exactly did Boltzmann really do in his 1872 paper?

In 2015 Ed told me a nice story about his time at Caltech: In 1952–53, I was a student in Linus Pauling’s class where he lectured Freshman Chemistry at Caltech. Ed was a serious (and, by all reports, exceptionally good) pilot—with an airplane transport pilot license (plus seaplane and glider licenses).
