Martin Singh

I am a lecturer in the School of Earth, Atmosphere & Environment at Monash University and an associate investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate System Science.

My research interests are in atmospheric dynamics and climate change. I am particularly interested in the influence of cloud and precipitation processes on atmospheric circulations of a wide range of spatial scales. Understanding the role of such moist processes in determining the climate is an important step toward predicting the possible impacts of human-induced global warming.

My particular research interests include:

• Understanding the large-scale tropical overturning circulation
• Earth's monsoons in the past, present and future
• Tropical convection in different climates
• Precipitation extremes under global warming
• The entropy budget of a convecting atmosphere

I currently have positions open for PhD students and honours students to work on a range of projects broadly concerning the dynamics of the tropical atmosphere. Some potential projects are outlined here, but please contact me if you are interested in working in my group.
