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 climate change interacts with urban climate. I develop coupled climate models and conduct research into the computational, mathematical and theoretical issues involved in their construction.I'm part of the CELS Global Climate Modeling Group
Currently I'm working on
- Energy Exascale Earth System Model I'm one of the leaders of multi-lab project to build a climate 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 climate change.
- 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 climate 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.
