I use a mixture of empirical and modelling techniques to assess climate extremes and variability from the perspectives of both:
a) their impact on societal outcomes such as economic growth
and/or
b) their evolution under anthropogenic forcing.
The end goal is to improve our understanding of the impact of climate change, and to use this knowledge to provide policy-relevant information such as the Social Cost of Carbon.
