My research primarily involves the Earth's climate: how it functions and how it changes. I have a particular interest in long term internal variability of the climate and how global climate interacts with urban climate. I develop coupled earth system models and conduct research into the computational, mathematical and theoretical issues involved in their construction.I'm part of the CELS Earth System Modeling Group
Currently I'm working on
- Energy Exascale Earth System Model I'm one of the leaders of multi-lab project to build an earth system model designed to tackle important DOE problems and run on the latest advanced hardware.
- Simplifying ESM Analysis Through Standards I'm leading this project to create missing tools/standards that will simplify the process of analyzing the output from earth system models.
- CROCUS I'm involved in this project to build an Urban Integrated Field Laboratory in Chicago to study the relationship between cities and global climate.
- The Model Coupling Toolkit. I'm the main developer of a toolkit for constructing coupled models. MCT is the basis of the coupler for several leading Earth system models including E3SM, Community Earth System Model., and various European models coupled with OASIS-MCT.
- The Fast Ocean Atmosphere Model. I'm the lead developer of this fully coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation model.
