Biography

Research interests

My research focuses on the physics of the climate system, its temporal evolution (climate dynamics), the formal relationship between climate observations and dynamical understanding, and the predictability of both climate dynamics and climate metrics—defined as measurable, meaningful functions of the system’s state. “Meaningful” extends beyond scientific insight to include socioeconomic relevance, such as improving forecasts of coastal flooding by identifying ocean measurements that reduce uncertainty in future projections.

Central to these interests is nonlinear dynamics, encompassing processes like shear-flow instability and the formation of mesoscale ocean eddies—turbulent structures on scales of roughly 1–100 km and lasting days to weeks. These eddies, analogous to atmospheric weather systems, play a key role in shaping ocean circulation by transferring energy from wind and buoyancy forcing into momentum, sharpening boundary currents such as the Gulf Stream, and redistributing heat and freshwater throughout the climate system. Their inherently nonlinear nature links directly to questions of climate predictability and the design of meaningful and predictable metrics.

Some recent examples include:

Ocean transport and mixing – both in terms of the kinematics of flow deformation and the generation of coherent flow structures (eddies/vortices/saddles) and the dynamics (how these structures evolve subject to the physical equations of motion for the fluid).
The representation of eddies in the ocean component of climate models – eddy parameterisation, the effect of eddies on larger and smaller scales and therefore on long-term climate predictability and short-term forecasting.
Representation of the climate as a dynamical system – a commonly used layer of abstraction that is helpful for understanding complexity, predictability, chaos and the role of nonlinear dynamics (usually involving waves, turbulence or eddies).
Sea-level science – understanding and predicting sea-level change, especially for regional and local-scale societal and environmental impacts. This involves a range of collaborative approaches, since sea-level is the sum of a large number of dynamical and thermodynamical processes, and relies on combining several observing systems in different reference frames with tailored modelling solutions for the best predictions.
