Research
The topics are ordered in some loose combination of relevance to current research, and the time and effort I have put into them. I do not include some recent interests that are still in early stages.
The descriptions are somewhat wordy, but I want to convey the situation and thinking that led me down these paths. Most research topics arose serendipitously: chancing on a paper or a talk that caught my interest, or a conversation with a colleague.
Orbital eccentricity and Earth’s seasonal climate
ITCZ shifts and interhemispheric thermal contrasts
Westerlies and the East Asian Summer Monsoon
Meridional Modes in the Atlantic and Pacific
