I am also carrying out work on the climatic impacts of geoengineering – the “intentional large-scale manipulation of the environment”.
I am an executive editor of the new EGU journal, Geoscientific Model Development, which is primarily for model descriptions, from box models to GCMs. The philosophy behind the journal, which aims to improve rigour and traceability in climate modelling, is described here.”
