Dr Timothy Lam

Postdoctoral Researcher

My principal area of research is the predictions and projections of high-impact weather events from seasonal to decadal timescales, using analysis-ready data from the observations and climate models. I am currently exploring the use of causal discovery tools to depict the atmospheric drivers of fire weather in the Mediterranean region, and how they may be modified under global warming.
