About

My research program aims to improve predictability of hazardous weather, ice, and lake/ocean events in cold regions in order to support preparedness and resilience in coastal communities. The main question my research aims to address is: what are the impacts of interactions between ice and oceans / ice and lakes on larger scale phenomena, such as weather, storm surges, and sea/lake ice melting? I primarily use numerical geophysical modeling to address my research question; and scientific findings from my research feed back into the models and improve their predictability. My work has focused on applications to the Great Lakes, Arctic Ocean, the Alaskan coastal region, and the Sea of Okhotsk.
