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, […]

In the early 1950’s John von Neumann and Jules Charney carried out the first successful numerical weather forecasts at the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton. The United States Weather […]
