In Brief…

Professor Jerome Neufeld studies the fluid dynamics of the Earth, its environment, and of planetary bodies through the use of physical and mathematical models, laboratory analogue models and the analysis of field experiments and field data. His work is currently focused on the flow of glaciers, the erosion of rivers, the geological storage of CO2 and the formation of planets in the early solar system.

Profile

Professor Jerome Neufeld is a Professor of Earth and Planetary Fluid Dynamics jointly appointed at the Institute for Energy and Environmental Flows, the Department of Earth Sciences and the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at the University of Cambridge. He is the Director of the MPhil and Part III program in Quantitative Climate and Environmental Science, Deputy Head of the Department of Earth Sciences and Deputy Director of the Centre for Climate Repair. He is also the Focus on Fluids Editor for the Journal of Fluid Mechanics.

Teaching

Professor Neufeld teaches mathematics for Natural Sciences at Trinity College in both the first and second years. He also supervises second year students in Quantitative Environmental Science.

Research

The research in the Earth and Planetary Fluid Dynamics group focuses on using mathematical models, laboratory experiments and field observations to understand the fluid dynamical behaviour of the Earth and other planetary bodies. Current research interests include subglacial hydrology and geoengineering in the cryosphere, the solidification of magma oceans and the early generation of magnetic fields on planetary bodies, the erosive dynamics of idealised river systems, and the fluid dynamics of geological carbon storage where he has contributed to reduced models of spreading and trapping.
