Ji-Hoon Oh

Ph.D. in Climate Science

My research focuses on large-scale climate dynamics, with a particular interest in the effects of Antarctic meltwater forcing and the hysteresis and irreversibility of the climate system in mitigation scenarios. I specialize in integrating Earth system models to explore these phenomena. I have conducted several large-ensemble climate simulations using both CESM1 and 2 model. I’m recently focusing on the tipping point of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).
In my free time, I enjoy not only research but also good drinks, experiencing great nature, going to the gym, and snowboarding. Feel free to reach out to me via email with any questions or inquiries.
