Alex Hall studies the climate system from both regional and global perspectives. At the global scale, he is interested in the feedbacks determining the climate system’s response to increases in greenhouse gases. At the regional scale, he studies the climate dynamics that are crucial for simulating and understanding regional climate, but are unrepresented in current global climate models. At UCLA, Dr. Hall teaches climate-related courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award (2002-2007). He is co-chair of US CLIVAR Climate Prediction and Applications Interface Panel, charged with making research and funding recommendations to US agencies regarding climate prediction and climate applications. He is also a member of the overarching US CLIVAR committee. He is a contributing author to the 2007 IPCC 4th scientific assessment of climate change report, where his work on climate sensitivity is featured.
