Research Interests:
Understanding modes of climate and water mass variability. I implement data analysis techniques and climate model simulations. Specific interests include the evolution of Southern Ocean water masses; air-sea processes in relation to ENSO, Indian Ocean anomalies, Antarctic Circumpolar Wave, Southern Annular Mode, and their connection to regional rainfall variability and extremes. I currently research on Indian Ocean mixed layer variability and the role of Indonesian Throughflow on climate.
