Current focus of research:

 

  • Emission and concentration implications of long term climate targets, such as limiting global warming to below 2°C.
  • Maintanance and further development of MAGICC6, the lower complexity coupled carbon-cycle, climate model, together with Tom Wigley and Sarah Raper.
  • Analysis of GCM and carbon cycle (CMIP3, C4MIP and forthcoming CMIP5) intercomparison exercises. 
  • Creation of greenhouse gas concentration pathways for the Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs), the new set of scenarios for climate change research.
  • Analysis of international climate policy agreement under the UNFCCC in regard to their emission and climate implications.
