Professor Schneider's research group investigates the physics of the atmosphere and climate on Earth and other planets, spanning scales from turbulent clouds to global circulations. To answer fundamental questions—such as how rainfall extremes and cloud cover respond to warming—the group integrates theory and observations with advanced numerical modeling. As a lead investigator for the Climate Modeling Alliance (CliMA), Professor Schneider's group is currently building a new Earth system model that harnesses machine learning and data assimilation to learn directly from diverse data, aiming to reduce uncertainties in climate projections.
