<p>I am currently the Palisades Geophysical Institute/Lamont
Research Professor at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of
Columbia University in Palisades, New York. I gained my
undergraduate degree at Liverpool University in England and came
to the United States in 1983 as a graduate student at Columbia. My
Ph. D work was completed in 1990 under the supervision of
Professor Mark Cane and Dr. Steve Zebiak and involved using
tropical atmosphere and ocean models to understand key features of
the tropical climate. In 1991-2 I completed a postdoctoral
appointment at the University of Washington before returning to
Lamont, this time to stay.</p>
<p>Throughout my career I have used numerical models, observations
and proxy reconstructions of past climates to understand the
physical mechanisms responsible for climate variability and change
on seasonal to glacial-interglacial timescales. I have a
particular interest in how the variation of the tropical
atmosphere-ocean system organize climate on a global scale. I have
also studied the reasons why the mean climate of the planet is the
way it is and why Europe has mild winters, why there is a tropical
Pacific warm pool, why there are subtropical anticyclones etc. My
recent work has focused on the mechanisms of persistent North
American drought and its relation to tropical Pacific and tropical
Atlantic Ocean temperature variations. This work has led me into
studies of Medieval megadroughts in the American West and studies
of the hydrological future of the West.</p>
