My main focus is future climate change, and I’ve developed and used a range of methods for investigating this, including creating and using ensembles of climate models, with a strong emphasis on the use of paleoclimate simulations for model evaluation. I was the 2nd most highly cited scientist from Japan in the recent Working Group 1 section of the 5th Assessment Report of the IPCC (the most highly cited scientist from Japan can be found here).
Currently my research has two main strands, which are: (1) understanding and using paleoclimate information (both model simulations and data from proxy archives, or paleosensors, or whatever the name-du-jour happens to be) in order to validate and improve model-based predictions of climate change, and (2) interpreting and using multi-model ensembles such as CMIP(n). I’ll try to fill out this section gradually as my new research takes shape…
