MS (2002), Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Madison
BS (1998), Meteorology/Climatology, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
PROFILE:
My primary research interests can be classified as mesoscale phenomena, processes, and modeling with an emphasis on phenomena that involve boundary layer processes and/or topographic influences. In recent years, while my research remains within the scope of mesoscale and boundary layer processes, the research questions I have been asking are relevant for understanding the link between small scale processes and climate, particularly at the atmosphere and earth surface interface. There are several different, yet complimentary, topics that my research group will focus around; 1.) impacts of wind energy on the atmosphere, 2.) topographic flows in Antarctica, 3.) atmosphere-glacier interactions, and 4.) dry-line evolution in Alberta.
My teaching responsibilities at UNC Charlotte include the Dynamic Meteorology sequence and Boundary Layer Meteorology.
