PROFESSIONAL INTERESTS:
My research involves a diversity of climate related issues pertaining to the western United States, ranging from synoptic to climate-change timescales. The scope of my research involves interpreting regional scale climate patterns and events to the global scale atmospheric and oceanic state. Current research projects that I am engaged in include: real-time climate tracking, precipitation reconstruction from blue-oaks in California's central valley, heat waves in present and future climate, detection of climate trend behavior and predictability associated with the Madden Julian Oscillation.
RESEARCH AREAS:
- Climate variability and change, regional scale climate patterns, atmosphere-ocean interaction
