My current research

Since 2023: Recent Arctic and Antarctic sea ice lows (RESIST)

I am currently doing a postdoctoral research at the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium (RMIB), in the Unit of Dynamical Meteorology and Climatology, under the supervision of Stéphane Vannitsem. Together with researchers from UCLouvain (PI: François Massonnet) and RMIB (PI: David Docquier),  I am investigating the cause-effect relationships between recent summer sea-ice lows in both polar regions and their potential interacting agents. This is done in the context of the BELSPO RESIST project (REcent Arctic and Antarctic Sea Ice lows: Same causes, same impacTs?).

More specifically, I am using the rate of information transfer from Liang (2021) to better understand the causes and impacts of Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice lows in global climate models. In collaboration with François Massonnet (UCLouvain), Francesco Ragone (RMI/UCLouvain), Annelies Sticker (UCLouvain), Thierry Fichefet (UCLouvain) and Stéphane Vannitsem (RMI), I have looked at the drivers of summer Arctic sea-ice extent in CMIP6 large ensembles. These results have been published HERE. I am also currently looking at the drivers of summer Antarctic sea-ice extent.
