Faculty
Atmospheric Science, remote sensing, climate change. Research on polar ice sheet characteristics and snow accumulation processes.
I am a hydrologist interested in the development and use of hydrological models to simulate fluid flow and transport for prediction, management, and process investigation.
Political ecology, biogeography, tropical environments, Latin America. Research on issues of sustainability in the Amazon.
Land-atmosphere interactions, remote sensing, micrometeorology. Research on the spatial and temporal variability of water, carbon, and energy cycling. Please visit my website.
Climate change adaptation, environmental disasters, coastal management, human-environment interaction.
Migration and development, food security, urban poverty, informal sector, international development, Africa
Political-‐Social-‐Cultural Geography, International Relations, Geographic and Social Theory
Remote sensing, GIS. Research in phenologically-based land cover mapping and change detection strategies using multi-temporal satellite imagery.
Cultural and historical geography, Latin America. Research on indigenous peoples, conservation, and participatory mapping in Central America.
Fluvial geomorphology, geoarchaeology, palynology. Research on historic and prehistoric changes in river systems and Late Quaternary environments.
Cultural geography, comparative Indigenous Nations studies, post-colonialism. Research on Indigenous peoples' self-determination, Indigenous peoples' knowledge systems and the philosophies and politics of place.
Geographic information science, spatial analysis. Research on computational methods of analysis of spatial data.
My group and I conduct research on cloud microphysics and dynamics, mesoscale organization of cloud systems, and regional climate processes.
Environmental geopolitics; resource, conflict, and identity themes in the South Caucasus; and issues of violence related to human trafficking and climate science.
Regional climate change and variability, climate modeling, and climate dynamics. Research on variations of dust emission and transport, drought development, dust-climate interactions, and vegetation-climate feedbacks.
Atmospheric science, mesoscale and synoptic meteorology. Research on coastal low-level jets, coastally trapped wind reversals, and the marine atmospheric boundary layer.
Cultural and historical geography, North America. Research on American regionalism and sense of place.
Tropical meteorology, climate variability and change, cloud physics and dynamics, mesoscale precipitating systems, radar and satellite meteorology, multi-scale interactions.
As an ecohydrologist, I am interested in investigating the interactions between climate, vegetation and geology on freshwater resources over different temporal and spatial scales.
Glaciology, ice-climate interactions, global environmental change. Research on dynamics and mass balance of fast-moving ice streams and outlet glaciers in Greenland and Antarctica, remote sensing applications for glacial geomorphology.
