I am a climate modeller currently working on the BREATHE project (Bridging Research on Environmental Attribution and Health Equity).
My role on the project is to run single-forcing detection and attribution experiments (from DAMIP2) using the HadCM3B-ESM coupled climate model. This model data will then be bias corrected and downscaled for use in a number of climate-health attribution studies. We will also be submitting the model output to CMIP7 as part of DAMIP2.
I have previously used the IGCM4 atmosphere-only climate model to investigate low-frequency variability of rainfall patterns across the South Pacific.
During my PhD I also studied low-frequency variability of Madden-Julian Oscillation teleconnection patterns in the Northern Hemisphere.
