My research is concentrated on understanding the earth system. Having a background in atmospheric science has motivated me to pursue research into the climate change impacts in relation to land- atmosphere interactions. The overall question that motivates my research is: What large scale processes directly influence climate change and how does the feedback between humans and climate change operate? My research has begun to address this question by 1) Analyzing the response to climate change of physical processes at the meteorological micro scale, 2) Assessing spatial and temporal variation in extreme weather events, and 3) Synthesizing human induced climate change science and effective mitigation efforts.
