research overview
- My research interests involve evaluating extreme events, such as temperature and precipitation extremes as well as strong Arctic cyclones, in the context of a changing Arctic climate system. I am also interested in how these extreme events impact and are impacted by a changing Arctic, including impacts on communities and ecosystems within the Arctic. The tools I use for this analysis include data from regional and global climate models as well as self-organizing maps, which are used to evaluate the climatology produced in that model output and place the extreme events in the context of this climatology. Since in the ATOC department I am an Instructor Professor, I try to share elements of the research I do when appropriate in my teaching.
