Research Themes

    • Nonlinear climate dynamics: An important research theme in our group is understanding
      monsoons from a dynamical systems perspective, using techniques in nonlinear dynamics, model-reduction,
      and time-series analysis.
    • Statistical methods in climate: We work on development and application of statistical methods, with
      ongoing work in spatial statistics, renewable energy integration, and learning directed graphs from data
      to understand climate teleconnections.
    • Climate change economics and policy: Related to global warming, we have studied origins of path
      independence between cumulative CO2 emissions and global warming and comparing mitigation of different
      climate forcers having different atmospheric lifetimes. We have integrated simple climate modeling and
      economics to study mitigation, and are collaborating on economics of climate change.
