John Graham Shepherd (born 1946)[2] CBE FRS[1] is a British Earth system scientist, Emeritus Professor at University of Southampton,[3] and a former director of the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton.[4] He has worked on a wide range of environment-related topics, including the transport of chemical tracers in the atmospheric boundary layer[5] and in the deep ocean,[6] the management of marine fish stocks,[7] and the dynamics of the Earth system.[8] More recently he led a comprehensive review of geoengineering for the Royal Society.[9][10][11]
