Earth + Exoplanet Climate Lab

Engineering planetary climates into predictive digital worlds.

I am Joao Mendonca, Associate Professor in Earth and Exoplanet Climatology at the University of Southampton. My research develops numerical tools that decode atmospheric dynamics across Earth, Solar System planets, and exoplanets.
