Theodore Gordon Shepherd FRS (born 6 August 1958) is the Grantham Professor of Climate Science at the University of Reading.
Shepherd was educated at the University of Toronto where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics and Physics in 1979. He completed his postgraduate education at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he was awarded a PhD in 1982 for research supervised by Jule Gregory Charney and on turbulence in Rossby waves.
Following his PhD, Shepherd was appointed a postdoctoral research fellow at St Catharine's College, Cambridge supervised by in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University of Cambridge. After 24 years working at the University of Toronto in Canada he moved back to the United Kingdom in 2012, funded by a Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award.
Shepherd is a dynamical meteorologist whose interests range from theoretical geophysical fluid dynamics to climate modelling and data analysis, with a focus on atmospheric circulation. This span from fundamentals to applications has been a hallmark of his research.
