Nigel Fox
Head of Earth Observation
National Physical Laboratory
Nigel Fox is an NPL Fellow in Optical Radiometry and Earth Observation. Nigel joined NPL from University College London in 1981 with a BSc in Astronomy and Physics. Since that time he has been responsible for the establishment and dissemination of primary optical radiation measurement scales and in particular pioneered the development of techniques such as laser, cryogenic and filter radiometry. These techniques led to an improvement of nearly two orders of magnitude in the accuracy of many radiometric measurements and have been widely adopted by the international metrology community, and also resulted in the award of a PhD from the University of London. Nigel has published more than 150 papers on a range of topics from primary optical radiation measurements through to climate monitoring, various book chapters and presented widely around the world though invited and other contributions and is a Fellow of the institute of physics.
