Research Interests
Milankovitch theory proposes that changes in insolation due to orbital perturbations dictate the waxing and waning of the ice sheets. However, variations in solar forcing alone are not sufficient to produce the glacial oscillations observed in the climate record. Instead, many have suggested that non-linear feedbacks in the Earth system work in concert with the orbital cycles to produce an amplified signal. In my current research, I use a complex Earth system model to explore the role of non-linear climate feedbacks on glacial cycles.
