Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

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 and is being studied using climate models and atmospheric reanalyses. Furthermore, 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. Finally, I am involved with the polar version of the regional WRF model that is being developed, tested, and applied to climate variability and change problems in both Polar Regions.
