Steve has worked for BAS for the last 25 years. He overwintered at Halley research station in 1991 and has returned to Antarctica 10 times since for Antarctic summer seasons. He is currently head of metrology and ozone monitoring (MOM) at BAS which is responsible for its operational meteorology program. He is actively involved with the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and sits on the panel of experts on polar and high mountain observations, research and services and chairs the Antarctic Task Team with this group.
