Research and career
In 1996, Hewitt joined the Met Office, where she has developed and assessed climate models. In 2003, Hewitt was made Head of Ocean and Sea Ice model development. Hewitt's model, HadGEM3, combined NEMO and CICE, computational models which simulate the movement of sea ice and ocean circulation.[citation needed]
Hewitt coordinated the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report on the Ocean, Cryosphere and Sea Level Change.[3] She oversees the Ocean Modelling group at the Met Office Hadley Centre, where she develops global and shelf configurations for coupled predictions across multiple different timescales.
Hewitt was appointed an Order of the British Empire in the 2022 Birthday Honours.[1]
