Our Mission -  We use advanced Earth system models and innovative simulation techniques to study the water cycle, focusing on a variety of convective storm types and characteristics of precipitation that impact the availability of freshwater, drought, floods, heat, and removal of air pollution.

Current Students - Alison Banks, Alana Cordak, Ashley Cornish, Wei-Ching Hsu

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: Investigating the role of land-surface conditions on landfalling tropical cyclones and the preceding processes that influence antecedent soil moisture and temperature on S2S timescales

 U.S. Department of Energy: Evaluating the influence of plant-climate interactions and feedbacks on hydrologic cycling: quantifying and validating the roles of plant processes and stomatal conductance 

U.S. Department of Energy: Simulating extreme precipitation in the U.S. in the Energy Exascale Earth System Model: Investigating the importance of representing convective intensity versus dynamic structure
