One of my major research interests are astronomical influences on Earth's climate, in particular the relationship between solar variability and climate changes.
Recent research highlights
February 2013: New paper: On the relation between solar activity and clear-sky terrestrial irradiance published in Solar Physics Preprint. See also my terrestrial irradiance page.
April 2011: No evidence for a strong effect of solar activity on terrestrial insolation
March 2010: How would a new grand minimum of solar activity affect the future climate?
