Research: My research activities focus on the various aspects of the study of climate variability at different spatial and temporal scales, through the use of numerical modelling with global and regional models. In the context of the IEB, I am currently studying the climate of Patagonia with a regional climate model for the Last Glacial Maximum (21,000 years before present) and the mid-Holocene (6,000 years before present). In addition to these modelling studies, I am participating in the Paleo Climate Intercomparison Project (PMIP), by carrying out analysis over the Southern Hemisphere for those same time slices.
