Research Interests
Geophysical Turbulence

When simulating large scale geophysical flows the effects of small scale turbulence must be parametrised because the resolution of any simulation is restricted by the available computational power. My current focus is to derive parametrisations of turbulence that conserve energy and momentum in order to increase the accuracy of these simulations.

The fluctuation-dissipation theorem relates the fluctuations present in a dynamical system to its response to a forcing. I am interested in extending the fluctuation-dissipation theorem with the eventual goal of applying it to estimate the future climate of the Earth. An intermediate goal is to test the fluctuation-dissipation theorem against climate models.

I am also interested in Sun Earth connections and plasma physics.
