Idea for a project proposal to discuss with SALs at UKCEH:

In September 2017 I co-organised the iLEAPS 5th International Science meeting held in Oxford, UK, and co-convened the session on Extreme Events. NASA has several programs related to Climate Applications, Air Quality and the Sustainable Development Goals and it is with these programs that I would like to develop these ideas.

Drought and flood are critically important extreme events in monsoonal ecosystems.

1. Tropical Wetlands. Taking the new Hydro-JULES modelling paradigm and using it to predict impacts on wetlands (developing further the work that has already started through the Hydro-JULES project itself).
2. Extreme events in monsoonal ecosystems. Using a globalised coupled model approach (either UM_JULES or UKESM) to look at drought and other extreme events in a variety of ecosystems. My plan is for this to be a NERC New Investigator Grant proposal expanding on the ideas I discussed in Marthews et al. (2019) and Marthews et al. (2020).
