Today we will consider dispersion in a Lagrangian framework and look at the classic GI Taylor paper “Dispersion by continuous movements”. We introduce the concept of anomalous dispersion, an example […]

Southern Oscillation (ENSO) are usually evaluated by comparing them to observations using a multitude of metrics. However, this approach can not provide an objective summary metric of model performance. Here we […]

Lakes are a critical natural resource that contain a large majority of Earth’s accessible surface freshwater, support important biodiversity and provide many benefits to people around the world. However, lakes […]

Artificial intelligence (AI) and big data are bringing innovations to many research fields that have a direct social impact. In this talk, I’d like to share recent efforts on research […]

One of the most intriguing facets of the climate system is that it exhibits variability across all temporal and spatial scales; pronounced examples are temperature and precipitation. The structure of […]

Multidecadal variations in North Atlantic sea surface temperatures are linked to areas far beyond that region, via atmospheric teleconnections. We take advantage of one such linkage, to reconstruct multi-decadal variations […]

Present descriptions of Quaternary climate assert that after major Northern Hemisphere ice sheets first appeared three million years ago, a steady rhythm of obliquity-driven, 40-ky glacial cycles dominated global climate […]

The genus homo started about 3-2.5 million years ago – likely in the savannas of Eastern Africa. Over the following 2 million years further speciation events occurred and some groups, […]
