Personal profile

My work explores the intimate feedback loop between the water cycle and humanity. I use paleoclimate proxies (mainly tree rings) as well as climate and hydrological models to study the water cycle—its behavior over space and time across scales, in the past, present, and future. Working with historians and archaeologists, I examine how societies were affected by, and adapted to, such changes. This knowledge of the past is key to help societies cope with climate change in the future.
