Research
interests • Decadal variability in climate, especially in the Atlantic region • Decadal predictability and prediction of climate - particularly identifying optimal regions for ocean observations to improve climate predictions • Quantifying the different sources of uncertainty in climate predictions | |
Recent Highlights
• Press release: "Targeted investments in climate science could present enormous economic savings for the UK and Europe". Followed up at Nature Reports Climate Change and realclimate.org. • What are the largest sources of uncertainty in temperature predictions on regional scales? Interactive website released, based on published paper • Where should we observe the Atlantic Ocean to optimally improve climate predictions? Paper published to answer this question in a GCM (HadCM3). • New Scientist publish article on the potential predictability of rapid changes in the overturning circulation - based on our recent paper | |
