Biography

Shayne uses numerical models of the atmosphere, ocean and coupled system to improve our understanding interannual to multi-decadal scale climate variability. He is particularly interested in the dynamics of the El Nino-Southern Oscillation. ​His current research focuses on the effect of the South Pacific Convergence Zone on the termination of El Nino events.
