Alister Doyle, who has worked at Reuters since 1982, is leaving the news organization to freelance.

Doyle has been an environment correspondent based in Oslo, Norway.

He has worked as the environment correspondent since 2004, mainly covering U.N. negotiations and the science of climate change. He also spent 2011-12 as a Knight Science journalism fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
