I am an applied climatologist at the Colorado Center for Astrodynamics Research (CCAR), housed within the Aerospace Engineering Department at CU. My work focuses on the interface of environmental variability and society, and my research goal is to increase the societal benefits of and reduce societal vulnerability to environmental variability and change. In particular, my research involves activities broadly grouped into four categories: (a) understanding the recent decline in Arctic sea ice; (b) developing seasonal forecasts of Arctic and Great Lakes ice covers; (c) determining what risk factors lead people to make poor choices in dangerous situations; and (d) verifying short-range atmospheric forecasts.
