Research Interests:

My research uses the framework and methods of synoptic climatology to study Earth's climate and its interactions with other biophysical systems. For example, my dissertation analyzes how corridors of intense water vapor transport known as "atmospheric rivers" induce mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet. Other research topics include the influence of rain gauge density on estimates of extreme precipitation magnitude and frequency, moisture sources for convective precipitation in subtropical South America, and the impacts of blocking high pressure systems near Greenland on North Atlantic hurricane tracks.
