Transitivity of the climate–vegetation system in a warm climate [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2015 To date, the transitivity of the global system has been analysed for late Quaternary (glacial, interglacial, and present-day) climate. Here, we extend this analysis to a warm, almost ice-free climate with a different configuration of continents.

Simulated climate effects of desert irrigation geoengineering [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractGeoengineering, the deliberate large-scale manipulation of earth’s energy balance to counteract global warming, is an attractive proposition for sparsely populated deserts. We use the BNU and UVic Earth system models to simulate the effects of irrigating deserts under the RCP8.5 scenario.
