Research

Our group combines observations, statistical methods, and physical models to understand how climate varies and how those variations shape the world we live in.

Crops

How heat, water, and a changing climate affect agriculture and food security.

Extremes

Understanding climate variability, extreme events, and their consequences.

Seasonality

What the annual cycle reveals about the climate system across timescales.

Glaciation

The causes and timing of ice ages, and the interactions of ice, oceans, and atmosphere.

Reconstruction

Reconstructing past climates from instrumental observations and natural archives.

Volcanism

Connections between volcanic activity, sea level, and long-term climate change.
