Prof. Shaw’s research focuses on the physics of the atmosphere and climate system past, present and future. She seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms controlling the response to climate changes so that we can have greater confidence in climate predictions. Her approach combines theory (primarily conservation laws), numerical modeling across a hierarchy of complexity and observational data analysis. A recent focus has been confronting climate change predictions from physics-based models with real world signals in order to advance basic understanding.
