Gabriel Vecchi

Gabriel Vecchi is a Professor of Geosciences and the High Meadows Environmental Institute at Princeton University, where he serves as Director of the Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System. His research focuses on climate science, extreme weather events, hurricanes, precipitation variability, ocean-atmosphere interactions, and climate change detection and attribution.

His recent work includes analyzing the impact of CO2 forcing on the North Atlantic Oscillation, hurricane rainfall risks during extratropical transitions, and climate-infectious disease dynamics. He has collaborated with graduate students Maya Chung and Ivan Mitevski on interdisciplinary studies linking climate patterns to public health outcomes.

Vecchi’s publications span climate modeling, drought attribution, and tropical cyclone behavior under global warming. His group employs high-resolution simulations to improve climate and weather risk predictions, with applications to flood resilience and disease control strategies.
