Research

I study climate and atmospheric processes, focusing specifically on regional climate modeling, applied climatology, and climate change impacts. I utilize climate models and statistical software to conduct my research. As a climate scientist, I am invested in local and regional success at adapting to a changing environment. In particular, I am interested in changes in precipitation and temperature regimes and linking these with processes or conditions that impact farmers, growers, businesses, and communities. I would like to utilize climatology studies to inform both policy and climate product end-users.
