In addition to developing records of past hydrological changes, we also work closely with collaborators using models and theory to try to understand the dynamics of these past changes. Past work sought to understand the drivers behind past dust emission changes. More recent work has investigated the energetics behind tropical precipitation changes at a wide range of timescales, providing a framework for understanding past shifts in the tropical rainbelt associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone.
