Tristram researches climate science at the University of Oxford, supervised by Prof Myles Allen, specialising in quantifying global warming sensitivity to anthropogenic emissions, and its implications for net zero emissions budgets – this work continues from his masters research at the University of Oxford, where he recently graduated with a double First-Class MPhys Physics. 

He has a passion for and track record of driving impact through interdisciplinary initiatives and translating research to inform policy and business: he is developing Oxford's NetZeroClimate.org project, which aims to facilitate transition to a net zero world by lowering barriers to action for business and policy; he also Coordinates the Oxford Climate Research Network, which develops instruments to improve practice in partnership with government, research, and business communities.
