Question: how could your investigation benift globel warming and the future?

Global warming is actually very well understood at the big scale of the whole earth. The next challenge is to understand what it will mean at the small scale of regions and cities. To study that we need computer models that can predict the big and small scales together. That’s a problem because traditional global models can’t “see” smaller than 100 km or so. My work would enable those models to “zoom in” to see 1km or smaller over regions and cities, as necessary.
