His Work
Eduardo is interested in understanding the natural variability of regional climate systems. In particular, he studies how regional geography as well as weather patterns impact natural ecosystems and human societies. By interpreting historical biological indicators such as tree rings, and geological sediments with the help of statistical methods and comprehensive climate simulations, he develops detailed overviews of the evolution of the climate of the past few millennia. His research has relevance for asking questions about how much influence human communities have on climate change, as well as projecting future climate change patterns.
