I am currently a Royal Society Research Fellow, based at the Climate Division of the National Centres for Atmospheric Science (NCAS-Climate) at the University of Reading and affiliated with the Walker Institute for Climate System Research. My research focuses on rainfall variability and extremes over southern Africa, and associated atmospheric, oceanic and land surface processes. I am also investigating the effect of land surface processes on rainfall over central Africa and the potential for improving rainfall predictions over eastern Africa. At present I lead the CALM project, a 12 month study beginning in April 2011, to compare atmosphere-land surface interactions within the tropics from models from the Climate Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). I am a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, and am Chair of their
Climate Change Research Group.
