Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBaylor Fox-Kemper is a Professor of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences at Brown University with over two decades of experience in physical oceanography and climate modeling. He develops mathematically rigorous yet practical parameterizations, diagnostics, and emulators that bridge high-resolution simulations, observations, and community-scale climate models. His work ranges from global ocean-climate interactions to focused process models of waves and turbulence, often producing simple approximations that capture complex dynamics. A former Coordinating Lead Author for the IPCC and long-time researcher at institutions including MIT and CU Boulder, he blends deep theoretical insight with operationally useful tools for the climate community. Based in Providence, RI, he is known for seeking “mathematically interesting” problems whose solutions directly improve model fidelity and understanding.
