climate variability

Extreme climate events affect the lives of millions people around the world each year and are anticipated to increase in frequency and magnitude due to climate change. Improving our understanding of historical and expected climate variability and change is paramount to mitigating the impacts of these extreme events. In this seminar, I will talk about my research on the fusion of information from weather models, satellites, and ground stations to gain a better understanding of climate variability in the past, present, and future.
