Biographical Sketch:
Water is a central theme of my research, and I focus much of my work on the cryosphere – the frozen part of the Earth system. Polar ice sheets and alpine glaciers, their past behavior, and ice core records of climate and environmental variability are all active areas of research in my group. I also work on water issues in the Gulf of Maine and Arctic regions, including extreme precipitation events, droughts, ecosystem impacts, snow hydrology, and oceanographic change.
