Job Duties

Climate research and downscaling for a variety of applications.

Professional Interests

Numerical modeling as a tool for understanding and investigating weather and climate. I am particularly interested in recent and future climate change, with emphasis on Antarctic climate variability, and also on the linkages between climate and human health.
