Personal profile
Research Interests
I am a climate scientist with an interest in understanding the influence of climate variability and anthropogenic climate change on high-impact events, including floods, heatwaves and wildfires. The response of the climate system to a warmer world is not uniform and the impact on the intensity and the frequency of weather and climate extremes has substantial regional variability. I have a particular expertise in statistical post-processing and downscaling techniques for climate model output, specifically for climate extremes. Such techniques provide an important basis for providing reliable climate information at spatial scales that are relevant to stakeholders.
