Professor Lynne Frostick, CBE
Emeritus Professor, Energy & Environment Institute, University of Hull

She remains an Emeritus Professor at the University of Hull’s Energy & Environment Institute today, and is committed to enhancing opportunities for women in STEM careers.

Summary: Climate change is already impacting on the rivers and coasts of our country. River flow records are exceeded on a regular basis and sea level rise is accelerating.
