I’m a Research Scientist based at the Department of Meteorology, University of Reading. I use observational data and high-resolution global climate models to study tropical and mid-latitude storms, including their tracks, structures, variability, and role in extreme rainfall events. Questions of particular interest include: decadal variability; how these phenomena will respond to anthropogenic climate change; and what we can learn from global climate models in regions where sparse observational data exist. I’m funded by the PRIMAVERA project and also work with the oil and gas industry to improve assessments of tropical cyclone risk to offshore infrastructure.
