Personal profile
Research Group or Lab Membership
I am a member of a collaborative research team, spanning multiple institutions, investigating the discrepancy between observed and predicted trends in tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures. This difference has significant implications for future climate projections.
I work in the Climatic Research Unit (UEA) with Prof. Manoj Joshi and Prof. David Stevens.
