About
I am a climate scientist and Professor at the University of British Columbia focused on helping the world prevent and prepare for climate change.

Research
I lead a diverse research program at the intersection of climate change science and policy. In order to address real-world problems, the areas of focus evolve over time and often cross disciplinary boundaries.
Engagement
I regularly engage with communities and the media to educate about climate change. I also advise the Canadian government as part of the Net-Zero Advisory Body.
Lab Team
The team of students and researchers in my Climate and Coastal Ecosystem Laboratory (CCEL) study an array of interdisciplinary climate problems, from ocean warming to sea-level rise to the challenge of eliminating climate-warming emissions.
Kiribati Research
I have been working with local government and communities in the Republic of Kiribati since 2005 to understand the effects of climate change and to build research capacity. Papers, reports, and videos are available here, with more to come.
Writings and Videos
You can subscribe to my blog for occasional articles about climate change science and policy, and my YouTube Channel for educational videos about climate change science and impacts, often filmed while out on the water or cycling to work.
