معرفی
Daniel Skinner is a Senior Research Associate in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, affiliated with the Climatic Research Unit and the Centre for Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences. His research focuses on decadal climate variability, particularly the Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ), and tropical-extratropical interactions. He leads the Pacific Rainfall over Millennial Scales (PROMS) project, investigating South Pacific hydroclimate dynamics over millennia.
Education:
- Doctor of Philosophy (2024), University of East Anglia
- Master of Mathematics (2020), University of East Anglia
Research Interests:
- Climate modeling of decadal variability
- Paleoclimatic reconstructions using biomarkers
- Teleconnections between tropical and extratropical systems
- Climate change impacts on hydroclimate systems
His work bridges atmospheric dynamics and paleoclimate studies, integrating idealized models like IGCM4 with proxy data from paleoclimatologists.
Recent work emphasizes MJO-driven atmospheric responses and multi-decadal climate modes, with findings published in Geophysical Research Letters and Weather. Articles span topics from glacial climate reconstructions to policy-oriented climate action frameworks.
