Alexander B. Thames, PhD#
I am a geoscientist and climate scientist with doctoral experience in developing tools and methodologies to support assessments of deep uncertainty, particularly for geophysical models and climate change impact analyses on natural-human systems like agriculture. I have expertise in large ensemble exploratory modeling in the context of understanding novel system interactions, informing decision-making and risk, high-performance computing, and data science/analytics.
