Mankin's research on climate variability and change is motivated by the risks global warming poses to ecosystems and people. Using observations alongside empirical and process-based models, his efforts are prospective—focused constraining uncertainties in future climate impacts—and retrospective—attributing the climate impacts that have already occured. He is committed to ensuring that climate data are a public good and his hope is that his science can help inform climate adaptation and decision-making. In his previous career, Dr. Mankin worked overseas as an intelligence officer.
