Work
editAn ISI highly cited researcher, Dai's areas of research include climate variability and projecting future climate change, such as changes in the global water cycle and droughts.[1][3][4] For example, he published a study in 2010 projecting that many heavily populated areas of the world (such as southern Europe and northern Africa) could see severe drought before 2100.[5] He has also published a study showing that the difference between the global warming hiatus and model predictions was largely due to the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation.[6] He has also studied changes in drought worldwide under global warming, finding that drought has gotten worse since 1923.[7][8]
