}}Keith Peter Shine (born 19 April 1958) FRS is the Regius Professor of Meteorology and Climate Science at the University of Reading.{{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}} He is the first holder of this post, which was awarded to the university by Queen Elizabeth II to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
Education
Shine was educated at Halesowen Grammar School and Imperial College London where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics in 1978. 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.{{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}}
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.{{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 stratospheric ozone depletion, and was a lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 1995 IPCC Second Assessment Report.
Prior to working at Reading in 1988, he held postdoctoral research posts at the University of Liverpool and University of Oxford.{{Who's Who | title=SHINE, Prof. Keith Peter | id = U250006 | volume = 2016 | edition = online Oxford University Press|location=Oxford}}Keith Shine's {{ORCID|0000-0003-2672-9978}}
