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). Beyond research, I enjoy going to the gym, snowboarding, and exploring the beautiful landscapes in San Diego and across California. Feel free to reach out to me via email with any questions or inquiries.
