}}'''Keith Peter Shine''' (born 19 April 1958) [[Fellow of the Royal Society|FRS]]<ref name=frs/> is the [[Regius Professor]] of [[Meteorology]] and [[Climate|Climate Science]] at the [[University of Reading]].<ref name=AllenFuglestvedt2016>{{cite journal|last1=Allen|first1=Myles R.|last2=Fuglestvedt|first2=Jan S.|last3=Shine|first3=Keith P.|last4=Reisinger|first4=Andy|last5=Pierrehumbert|first5=Raymond T.|last6=Forster|first6=Piers M.|title=New use of global warming potentials to compare cumulative and short-lived climate pollutants|journal=[[Nature Climate Change]]|volume=6|issue=8|pages=773–776|year=2016|doi=10.1038/nclimate2998|bibcode=2016NatCC...6..773A|s2cid=88203349 |url=http://eprints.whiterose.ac.uk/108770/1/SLCP_INDC_withfigs.pdf}}</ref> He is the first holder of this post, which was awarded to the university by [[Elizabeth II|Queen Elizabeth II]] to mark [[Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II|her Diamond Jubilee]].<ref name=frs/>

==Education==
Shine was educated at [[Earls High School|Halesowen Grammar School]] and [[Imperial College London]] where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in [[Physics]]<ref name=whoswho/> in 1978.<ref name=orcid/> He completed his postgraduate education at the [[University of Edinburgh]], where he was awarded a PhD in [[meteorology]] in 1981 for research supervised by Bob Harwood.<ref>{{cite thesis|degree=PhD|publisher=University of Edinburgh|title=Some development of a zonally averaged climate model|first= Keith Peter|last=Shine|year=1981|url=http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.281262|oclc=557250475}} {{open access}}</ref>
He now teaches atmospheric physics to second year students at the University of Reading.

==Research==
Shine's research interests are in meteorology and climate science, with a focus on understanding how human activity initiates [[climate change]].<ref name=HaynesMcIntyre1991>{{cite journal|last1=Haynes|first1=P.

In addition, Shine is at the forefront of identifying and quantifying [[radiative forcing]], a way of measuring the strength of [[climate change]] mechanisms. He has been heavily involved in major United Nations' assessments of climate change and [[stratosphere|stratospheric]] [[ozone depletion]], and was a lead author of the [[Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change|Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)]] 1995 [[IPCC Second Assessment Report]].<ref name=frs/>

Prior to working at Reading in 1988, he held [[postdoctoral research]] posts at the [[University of Liverpool]] and [[University of Oxford]].<ref name=whoswho>{{Who's Who | title=SHINE, Prof. Keith Peter | id = U250006 | volume = 2016 | edition = online [[Oxford University Press]]|location=Oxford}}</ref><ref name=orcid>Keith Shine's {{ORCID|0000-0003-2672-9978}}</ref>
