PROFESSIONAL APPOINTMENTS

PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION

TEACHING AND RESEARCH OVERVIEW

My primary responsibilities are teaching and research. I teach undergraduate and graduate courses on climate and physics, and graduate seminars on physical climate modeling. My research group studies the distribution and fluxes of energy and trace species that pass through Earth’s atmosphere. We model the microphysics of trace gas, aerosol, and surface interactions with Earth’s radiative, thermodynamic, and chemical budgets. We then parameterize these effects in climate system models. Model simulations, combined with lab, field, and satellite data, help us attribute alteration of Earth’s climate, chemistry, and atmospheric composition. Our current research includes mineral dust, meteoric, and carbonaceous aerosols, snow lifecycle and albedo, aerosol impacts on ocean biogeochemistry, wind-driven surface energy/mass exchange, climate-disease links, and terascale data analysis. Our natural aerosol generation, aerosol light scattering, column radiative transfer, and data processing models are freely available and are used in geoscience research institutions world-wide.
