Abstract
I am a research associate professor in atmospheric sciences at The University of Washington in the USA, completed my PhD in atmospheric sciences in 2013 at the same institution, and an MPhil at the University of Cambridge in 2005. In 2015, I was a visiting research associate at the Catalan Institute for Climate Science.
I work in the field of high latitude climate and sea ice predictability, variability, and trends, using both modeling tools and observations. Past work has focused on assessing causes of sea ice variability and trends in both the Arctic and Antarctic, investigating the impacts of Arctic cyclones on sea ice, identifying sources of sea ice predictability, reconstructing high latitude climate records, and utilizing satellite retrievals to understand the impact of waves on sea ice properties. In recent years, I have started investigating extreme events such as heatwaves and storms, studying their causes, predictability, and climate change attribution, while using these events to validate climate models.
