| Research Interests: | My research interests are very broad ranging from methods to reconstruct past climate from proxy records, such as tree rings, and instrumental data, through to modelling future climate. At the heart of my research is the quantitative analysis of models and observations of climate change in order to constrain the future. I'm also interested in extreme climate events and their causes. In coming to Edinburgh I'd like to improve my knowledge and understanding of the carbon cycle and try and develop ways of constraining its possible futures. I'd also like to improve estimates of the natural variability of the earth system and device ways of ruling out strong climate feedbacks from observations. This all seems to fit into NERC's Climate System Strategy. | |||||||||||||
