Mid-Pliocene West African Monsoon rainfall as simulated in the PlioMIP2 ensemble
The mid-Pliocene warm period (mPWP; similar to 3.2 million years ago) is seen as the most recent time period characterized by a warm climate state, with similar to modern...- publication PDF

Is it possible to quantify irrigation water-use by assimilating a...
Irrigation is the largest human intervention in the water cycle that can modulate climate extremes, yet irrigation water use (IWU) remains largely unknown in most regions....- publication PDF

Driving solar giant cells through the self-organization of near-surface plumes
Global 3D simulations of solar giant-cell convection have provided significant insight into the processes which yield the Sun's observed differential rotation and cyclic dynamo...- publication PDF
