Excited to be visiting @universityofleeds.bsky.social today! I will discuss our research on the physics of tropical land in a changing climate, including hot-off-the-server results suggesting a drier future than climate models predict @earthandenvleeds.bsky.social @earthscista.bsky.social

We had a fantastic research 'away day' at East Sands in St Andrews, where we discussed the future of extreme temperatures as part of GLOBAL-EX project. A lunchtime swim + cheese toasties on the beach was an added bonus! @erc.europa.eu @ukri.org @earthscista.bsky.social @uniofstandrews.bsky.social

Not a bad backdrop for pondering science at the Simons Symposium for Multi-Scale Physics ⚛️ I will be talking today about "Large-scale and local-scale influences on tropical land climate"

Great to be visiting beautiful @ethz.ch for a few days of science! I will be presenting a seminar on elevation-dependent warming followed by examining a PhD on the water cycle in a changing climate 💦🌡️🌤️

Wonderful to be back (at a very soggy) @harvard.edu for the Continental Climate Workshop, where I gave a talk about elevation-dependent warming over land. It has been a bittersweet visit, given the unsettling and escalating situation at Harvard. Thinking about all those affected 🌍

Attending the amazing 'Philosophy of Climate Science' workshop @uniofstandrews.bsky.social this week! Today I gave a talk on 'Theory and the future of (land-)climate science'. Want to know more? Checkout the paper: rdcu.be/dWEZI

Great to be visiting @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social in glorious sunshine! Today I will be giving the Global Change seminar in the School of GeoSciences where I will discuss dynamical constraints on tropical climate change over land 🌡️☀️

Delighted to be in stunning Monte Verita for an @ethzurich.bsky.social workshop on drought! In a keynote talk today, I will discuss current our current understanding of land temperature and humidity in a changing climate
