Area: Seasonal forecasting and its uncertainties

My research is around the predictability of weather and climate from

months to years ahead: What drives changes in the climate system,

specifically in the atmosphere? What do we need to predict these

changes? Trying to better understand how that complex system of nature

works motivates my work.

Being able to feel the weather, the very subject of my studies, literally on

my face by just stepping outside the house is, I believe, a privilege that not

many other scientists share with us. Equally important to being

mesmerised by your science is finding people you enjoy working with
