Research Interests


Coupled climate modeling

Earth Science: Climate

Development, application and evaluation of coupled ocean-atmosphere-composition climate models.


Paleoclimate

Earth Science: Climate

Investigation of changes in past climate and what they can reveal about model skill and future changes.


Detection and attribution of climate change

Earth Science: Climate

Exploring the fingerprints of forced and internal changes in the climate record and in models to better understand why climate changed in the past, why it is changing now and how it might change in the future.
