He is especially interested in understanding how the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, land, and sea ice lead to variability in climate on time scales from seasonal to decades. He is also working on the impacts of climate variability and climate change on food production in Mexico, Indonesia, and China.

He has spent most of his career at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, where he is currently a Senior Research Scientist and conducts studies on climate dynamics and climate modeling. He is also a lecturer with rank of professor at Princeton University, in its Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Program, and is an Associate Faculty member in Princeton's Applied and Computational Math ematics Program and in the Princeton Environmental Institute.

His research involves the study of processes related to climate variability and change, cryospheric interaction in polar regions, and sea level rise based on in-situ measurements, satellite obser vations, and model approximations. He has lead field expeditions to the Greenland ice sheet and other Arctic regions for 33 consecutive years to measure the dynamic response of the ice masses under a warming climate.

APPENDIX B 277 ernmental Panel on Climate Change. Involved with the IPCC since the mid 1990s, he served as a lead author for four different chapters in the Third Assessment Report that was published in 2001 and as convening lead author for the last chapter of the contribution of Working Group II to the Fourth Assessment Report.
