Tropical Pacific SST drivers of recent Antarctic Sea ice trends
A strengthening of the Amundsen Sea low from 1979 to 2013 has been shown to largely explain the observed increase in Antarctic sea ice concentration in the eastern Ross Sea and...- publication PDF

Antarctic ice sheet response to sudden and sustained ice-shelf collapse (ABUMIP)
Antarctica's ice shelves modulate the grounded ice flow, and weakening of ice shelves due to climate forcing will decrease their 'buttressing' effect, causing a response in the...- publication PDF

Magnetic field fluctuation properties of coronal mass ejection-driven sheath...
In this work, we investigate magnetic field fluctuations in three coronal mass ejection (CME)-driven sheath regions at 1 AU, with their speeds ranging from slow to fast. The...- publication PDF

The impacts of using mixed physics in the Community Leveraged Unified Ensemble
A well-known problem in high-resolution ensembles has been a lack of sufficient spread among members. Modelers often have used mixed physics to increase spread, but this can...- publication PDF
