Ellen Berntell Postdoctor

• Postdoc at the Department of Meteorology. Supervisor: Frida Bender and Thorsten Mauritsen.
• Member of the Bolin Centre for Climate Research: Research Theme 1 (The physical-chemical climate system) and 3 (Past climates)

My research focuses on monsoon and rainfall variability in West Africa, and aims to investigate the monsoon variability from past to future, understand the monsoon response to different forcings, as well as the feedbacks between the monsoon and other physical processes. We mainly use data from paleoclimate simulations produced by the earth system model EC-Earth, but also from paleoclimate reconstructions and modern observations.
