Fields of interest:
Tropical Climate: dynamics of ITCZs and monsoons. Past and future anthropogenic climate change, especially over Africa. Adaptation to climate change in developing countries.
I am interested in atmospheric and climate dynamics. My focus is on the climate of the Tropics, in particular on what controls the location and intensity of rainfall, both over the ocean and over land. A proper understanding of mechanisms is both the mean and the end in studying climate change in the past and the future.
