About My Work
I am a research scientist in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University, specializing in climate dynamics and Earth system modeling. My work focuses on understanding physical and dynamical processes in the polar regions and their connections to lower-latitude climate. I have led multiple projects on climate responses to future Arctic sea-ice loss and currently co-lead the Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project (PAMIP) phase 2. I also study solar climate intervention, assessing how stratospheric aerosol injection may influence U.S. severe-storm environments and storm characteristics. A core theme of my current research is leveraging high-resolution models to uncover new insights into climate and weather processes. I serve as an Executive Editor for Climate Dynamics and an Associate Editor for the Journal of Climate.
