Stephen Griffies, senior scientist at Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, has been named Editor in Chief of the Journal of Advances in Modeling the Earth System (JAMES). As Editor, Dr. Griffies plans to “ensure that JAMES deliberately and thoughtfully embraces earth system modeling from the bottom of the ocean to the top of the atmosphere.” He has been an editor in charge of the ocean and cryosphere section for JAMES since 2018, and he is also a lecturer and mentor in Princeton University’s graduate Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences program.

Dr. Griffies is a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union and the recipient of the European Geosciences Union’s Fridtjof Nansen Medal for oceanographic research. His research and leadership have made him a recognized expert in the development of ocean models, and his research has provided important insights about ocean fluid mechanics and the role that ocean circulation plays in the global climate system. He has been with GFDL for more than two decades, currently in GFDL’s Ocean and Cryosphere Division.
