I'm interested in the dynamics of climate systems (past, present, and the purely hypothetical). My current research is a study of the atmosphere-ocean dynamics resulting from changes to the configuration of land and sea ice. In addition to geophysical fluid dynamics, this work involves timescale reconstruction in paleoceanographic data, as well as glacial precipitation feedbacks. A major theme is the development of methods to handle time-uncertain paleoclimate proxy data. One branch of this work is to look at simplified theoretical models alongside massively parallel coupled numerical models to explain anomalous temperature observations in the California Margin and speleothems in the Southwestern United States.
In my copious free time, I'm interested in energy issues, reversible geoengineering, and anything involving fluid dynamics.
Before moving into climate research in 2008, I worked on microfluidics, nonlinear dynamics of complex fluids, classical field theory, and precision timing/navigation (in that order). I did my undergraduate degree at Reed College (B.A. in Physics, 2007).
