Scientific Publications

I have been involved in a wide range of environmental studies, focussed on various aspects of the carbon, water and energy cycles and including many collaborators across the world. I published over 110 papers in peer reviewed journals, including high profile journals (h-index of 40). As I still very much enjoy working on the nuts and bolts of models and numerical methods, I like to contribute to the technical aspects of the papers published by my students, post-docs and collaborators.
