Chris Hill is a principal researcher at M.I.T. He is a lead architect of the M.I.T. General Circulation Model (MITgcm), a globally used research model that has generated many thousands of publications. Hill’s work on the MITgcm pioneered connecting non-hydrostatic fluid dynamics to large-scale circulation. The methods developed have been adopted in the design of several next generation atmospheric and ocean models from national centers in the USA, Europe, and Asia.
