Research interests

I am interested in all things related to weather, climate and climate change, but my main focus lies in the field of hydroclimatology – i.e. the inter-relationships between the climate system and hydrological cycle. Within the general field of hydroclimatology, my work can largely be split into two themes:

Processes linking present day climate variation to changes in surface hydrology, including evaporation, snow cover, river flow and lake levels. This work involves statistical analyses of historical hydrological time series and the cascade of processes linking large-scale climate variation to regional and catchment-scale hydrological processes. A particular focus is the drivers of hydrological extremes and how these are influenced by large-scale climate variation, including atmospheric circulation patterns such as the Northern and Southern Annular Modes
The uncertainty associated with how hydrological processes may respond under scenarios of climate change. This involves offline coupling of catchment-scale hydrological models with climate model output, focussing on understanding the role of emissions, climate model and hydrological model-based uncertainty in shaping projections of 21st century hydrological change and associated implications for water resources

Potential future projects

I would welcome inquiries from any student interested in topics based on climatology in general, and especially on links between the climate system, climate change and hydrological variation. Specific subject areas that I would welcome applications on include:

Uncertainty in hydrological models under climate change scenarios
Uncertainty in potential evapotranspiration under climate change
Drought detection and attribution
Atmospheric rivers
The role of Southern Hemisphere atmospheric circulation for the climate of New Zealand
