Andy is a climate modeller with a major focus on land surface processes. Recently, he has been working on coupled carbon modules for climate models including dynamic vegetation how vegetation responds to increasing carbon dioxide and how uncertain our projections of the future might be given instability in terrestrial carbon storage. He has also explored the global and regional impacts of land cover change. He has interests in climate extremes and how these are likely to change in the future. Andy co-chairs the Project for the Intercomparison of Landsurface Parameterization Schemes, he is chair of GLASS, a lead author in the IPCC, a member of National Committee for Earth System Science, convenor of the ARC Research Network for Earth System Science and co-director of the Climate Change Research Centre at UNSW...
