Scientific Interests

Main Interests: 

My main research focus on land surface processes and the importance of the land surface within earth system models and meteorological forecasting systems. In particular I am interested in modelling of land surface processes, large scale hydrology, land surface drivers on sub-seasonal to seasonal atmospheric predictability, drought monitoring and forecasting and the role of the land surface in climate projections.
