Vecchi Group 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 Princeton researchers investigate how climate change will affect the North Atlantic Oscillation–and thus European weather May 29, 2025 Author Written by High Meadows Environmental Institute The NAO—and thus, European winter weather—could undergo significant shifts as CO2 levels increase in the atmosphere. A new paper published in Nature Partner Journal Climate and Atmospheric Science, led by Princeton University researchers, finds that future European winters may become warmer and wetter in the north and colder and drier in the south due to predicted changes in the NAO.
