Chris Fletcher joined the Department of Geography and Environmental Management at the University of Waterloo in 2010 and became the Sharcnet Research Chair in 2012. His research program employs computer models of the global climate system to understand climate variability and change, particularly in North America and Europe, over timescales ranging from seasons to decades and centuries. His primary research interest involves the role of atmospheric circulation in determining regional patterns of temperature and precipitation in both past and present climates, as well as future projections. His research group utilizes advanced computer model simulations to make predictions about expected future changes in the climate. The climate models they work with are highly complex pieces of software that require powerful supercomputers to run. Members of his group develop skills in scientific computing, physical climatology, and big data analysis, and are open to inquiries from prospective research assistants and graduate students.
Includes fields like Clinical, Cognitive, Developmental, and Industrial/Organizational Psychology.
