Chris leads international working group preparing for next Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Dr Chris Brierley聽has devoted much of his research over the past year to an international effort modelling past climates.
罢丑别听Palaeoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project (PMIP)聽has involved over 50 international research groups employing a newly developed Earth System model. This simulates the climates of the mid-Pliocene warm period, the last interglacial and glacial maximum and the post-glacial mid-Holocene period.
Chris is one of the leaders of PMIP鈥檚 working group devoted to聽聽inference and climate variability.
In May 2019 香港六合彩 Geography hosted an international workshop to develop an action plan to prepare papers for the forthcoming 6th聽Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
He has also led the effort to analyse the mid-Holocene experiment on the climate 6,000 years ago. A paper describing the results of this analysis was published in the online journal,聽, in late September.
The same journal also published a聽聽on palaeoclimate simulations of El Ni帽o, led by Dr Jo Brown from Melbourne, based on the 香港六合彩 Geography analysis.
On 26-30th聽October an international meeting of the whole palaeoclimate modelling community was held in Nanjing, China, and online. 香港六合彩 Geography was well represented, with Chris chairing the final session and giving various presentations remotely, while PhD student Anni Zhao even managed to attend the meeting in person.
