Climate scientist investigating climate dynamics and paleoclimate. Currently a Houghton Postdoctoral Fellow at MIT @eapsmit
- Check out the @pnas.org highlight for our new paper on how Paleoclimate Pattern Effects in the Pliocene lead to tighter constraints on the modern response to CO2 (a.k.a. climate sensitivity)
- The Pliocene climate was more sensitive than the current climate, suggesting that the upper bound of potential 21st-century warming—an estimate informed by Pliocene warming—should be revised down from 5 °C to 4 °C, according to the authors. In PNAS: ow.ly/U5H750Y5yUo
