Research Interests

• Atmospheric Predictability - quantifying and improving the predictability of high-impact weather events over the western U.S., with a focus on cool-season precipitation


• Large-Scale Moisture Transport - examining regions of intense vertically-integrated water vapor transport, sometimes called atmospheric rivers (ARs), and their impact on U.S. weather and climate


• Short-Term Climate Variability - understanding the relationship between the predictability of high-impact weather and short-term climate indicators (e.g., ENSO, NAO, AO)
