Contact the Steering Committee

The ContrailMIP Steering Committee oversees the scientific direction, coordination, and governance of the project. The Steering Committee comprises representatives from all four ContrailMIP working groups, ensuring expertise across the full spectrum of contrail modelling and climate impact assessment.

Organisations seeking to support ContrailMIP and stakeholders wishing to learn more about ongoing activities are encouraged to contact the Steering Committee.

Currently, enquiries relating to the Steering Committee should be addressed to Dr. Sebastian Eastham (s.eastham@imperial.ac.uk), who will circulate them to the other Steering Committee members as appropriate.
