Biography

Professor Dann Mitchell specializes in Climate Science with a focus on understanding both global and regional climate change over various timescales, particularly the last 100 years and projections for the next 100 years. His research explores how climate change alters atmospheric circulation and extreme weather events and their impacts on human health. He investigates attribution of past climate trends and extreme events, examining projected changes under future greenhouse gas emission scenarios. His work particularly emphasizes low emission scenarios in alignment with the Paris Agreement, aiming to understand climate change's societal impacts, especially related to health issues such as heat waves and cold snaps. Additionally, he conducts research on stratospheric dynamics, mid-latitude dynamics, temperature-related health issues, extreme value statistics, and planetary atmospheres within the solar system. Currently, he is involved in several research projects that analyze heatwave mortality and the health impacts of climate change, including partnerships with various institutions and significant contributions to international climate actions.
