  • Supercomputer to power climate change study

  • Karl-Heinz Wyrwoll is visiting Madison while on sabbatical leave from the School of Earth and Geographical Sciences, The University of Western Australia. His research interests range from geomorphology-earth surface processes to Quaternary geology-paleoclimatology. Current projects include:
    • The uplift-climate history of the northern margin of the Tibetan Plateau
    • Late Quaternary paleohydrology and paleoclimates of western Australia
    • Late Quaternary history of the northwest Australian monsoon
    • Investigation of the relationship between the Australian and East Asian monsoon systems using Atmosphere Ocean Global Circulation Model simulations
    • Prediction of eolian instability and dust transport under past and future climates
