The Team
Kevin Healion
I am a research assistant in ICARUS employed on a Copernicus Climate Change contract. I have previously worked as an archivist and have catalogued numerous collections concerning politics, institutional records, and public records. More recently I have assisted Dr. Simon Noone with the CliDAR digitisation project with undergraduate geography students and other data rescue projects within ICARUS. I also partially inventoried the ACMAD collection as part of the MSc in Climate Change in Maynooth University.
Simon Noone
I am a Post Doctoral Researcher employed on a Copernicus Climate Change contract. For the past eight years I have led out on the development of global historical land data collections. I have developed a particular interest in classroom based participatory learning techniques including data rescue in the classroom. I have been a lead author or co-author on several peer reviewed published papers in the field of historical climatology which focused upon data rescue, data homogenisation and quality control methods.

Peter Thorne
My research interests are in understanding the observational evidence basis for climate changes and variability. I am the chair of the GCOS Atmospheric Observations Panel for Climate and an author on the WGI contribution and synthesis report of the IPCC sixth assessment cycle.

Bruno Voisin
I work for ICHEC in Galway, Ireland, working in the context of ICHEC's Technology Transfer activities, providing data analytics expertise and training to research groups, public sector agencies and industrial partners.
Paul Poli
I work at ECMWF for the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) on the preparation of in-situ observation datasets, to support climate monitoring, research, and applications. My research interests are in data assimilation of past observations into global reanalyses.
