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 Viral Tweet Misrepresents NOAA Report on Rising Global Temperature Jan. 27, 2023 Author Written by Saranac Hale Spencer The warming trend in global temperature continued in 2022, which was the sixth-warmest year on record, according to a recent report from the NOAA. But a viral tweet — using just a small segment of a NOAA graph — wrongly claimed the agency had announced a “global cooling” trend. Professor of geosciences Gabriel Vecchi explains fluctuations in the climate graph. Modeling Earth’s future: Princeton researchers project a planet affected by climate change Dec. 13, 2022 Author Written by High Meadows Environmental Institute The work of climate modelers informs public policy and influences strategies for mitigating risks and adapting to change.
