"Myles R. Allen" is head of the Climate Dynamics group at the University of Oxford's Atmospheric, Oceanic and Planetary Physics Department. He is the Principal Investigator of the distributed computing project Climateprediction.net, and was principally responsible for starting this project. He is Professor of Geosystem Science in the School of Geography and the Environment, and a Oxbridge Fellow/Fellow of Linacre College, Oxford.

He has worked at the Energy Unit of the United Nations Environment Programme, the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

He contributed to the IPCC Third Assessment Report/Third Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as a Lead Author of the Chapter on detection of change and attribution of causes, and was a Review Editor for the chapter on predictions of global climate change for the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. His research focuses on the attribution of recent climate change and assessing what these changes mean for Global climate model/global climate simulations of the future.

The more we get, the more accurate will be our predictions. We have got 500,000 climate variations stacked up and ready to go. Each person who joins in will get a slightly different model for their computer to crunch, so the more people we get the more confident we can be of our results.

The most important for us is the first few decades of the model to see if it gives an accurate picture of what actually happened in the 20th century.
