About Professor Gabriel Vecchi Gabriel Vecchi is a Professor of Geosciences and The High Meadows Environmental Institute, and Director, Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System at Princeton University. His research interests are climate science; extreme weather events; hurricanes; mechanisms of precipitation variability and change; ocean-atmosphere interaction; detection and attribution. In the News Hurricanes: An Eye on the Future Nov. 22, 2022 Gabriel Vecchi speaks in the "Eye Towards the Sky" AMS lecture series on November 18th in Boston. Misleading claims downplay climate change’s effect on hurricanes Oct. 6, 2022 Author Written by Philip Marcelo, AP News CLAIM: Climate change isn’t real because hurricanes in Florida and across the U.S. haven’t increased in frequency, intensity or landfall in more than a century.
