I am a NASA-funded postdoctoral
research fellow working at NCAR.
My research interests include:
Cloud and aerosol
processes and their influence on the coupled climate system
Using remote-sensing
data to measure and understand our changing climate
Evaluation of climate
models using data assimilation
Climate change impacts
and adaptation strategies
Recent highlights include:
Anomalous cloud and weather
patterns contributed to the record Arctic sea ice loss in 2007.
For more information,
see our GRL paper, and the NCAR and AGU
press releases.
For a local
perspective on Arctic change and research, listen to Talk of Alaska.
See the NSIDC blog
or daily maps for current Arctic sea ice
conditions.
A simple timescale
ratio can predict aerosol sensitivity in ice clouds.
More information in
our recent GRL paper.
New ICLEI manual helps
local governments prepare for climate change.

wrote at the Climate Impacts Group website here.
