Current CV: 

Interests: Polar Weather and Climate, Global Climate Change, Modeling

Current Research: My research focuses on global climate change in high latitudes resulting from local and tropical influences using climate models and atmospheric reanalyses. Furthermore, I lead the development, testing, and application of the polar versions of the regional WRF and MPAS models to climate variability and change problems in both Polar Regions. The WRF-DA and JEDI data assimilation capabilities are often used in parallel with Polar WRF and Polar MPAS to investigate predictability. Finally, I am involved in the Arctic System Reanalysis project that concentrates on the behavior of the coupled atmosphere-land-ocean-sea ice system of the greater Arctic which has been re-constructed since 2000 to describe and understand that rapidly changing part of our Earth.
