- Lecturer in Atmospheric Science, University of St Andrews
I am a Lecturer in Atmospheric Science in the School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of St Andrews.
My research investigates large-scale weather and climate variability, predictability and change from daily to multi-decadal timescales, with a focus on subseasonal and seasonal timescales in the extratropics. This includes understanding fundamental physical processes, quantifying model biases, and developing frameworks to extract usable information from forecasts. Specific areas of current research include the stratospheric polar vortex, weather regimes, annular modes, jet streams, large ensembles and extreme events.
