Research themes
As a group we are currently working on the following areas of research:
- in the Earth system, especially the climate system and early warning methods for them
- Revolutionary transformations of the Earth system, involving the
- , with an initial focus on the marine microbial biosphere. We are actively developing and using process-based models, spanning spatial scales from the sub-cellular components of marine plankton up to the whole planet, and capturing timescales from days to millions of years, which demands a nested hierarchy of models.
