I quantify how changes in greenhouse gas emissions from Arctic ecosystems are impacting the energy balance of the region’s atmosphere. My research aims to better understand feedback loops in a rapidly changing Arctic.
My expertise in atmospheric modeling, remote sensing, and radiative transfer is driven by my passion for learning more about Earth’s atmosphere. I am enthusiastic about employing advanced mathematical techniques, sophisticated modeling approaches, and state of the art measurement methods to advance our ability to observe and model the atmosphere. By creating a better understanding of our atmosphere’s intricate systems, I hope to support more informed decision making for climate action.
I earned a B.S. in physics from the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology and a M.S. in applied mathematics from the University of Washington, then worked as a post-masters research associate at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. Before joining Woodwell Climate, I earned my Ph.D. in atmospheric science from North Carolina State University. I grew up in Los Alamos, NM, which nurtured my love for mountains and science from a young age. In my free time, I enjoy oil painting, hiking, and camping.
