RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Jun 2008 Center for Multiscale Modeling of Atmospheric Processes (CMMAP)

to A DOE funded project studying the relative impacts of local vs. non-local pollution on regional

Present clouds and climate using an advanced global-regional modeling system.

Working on the global component of a global-regional climate modeling system in which a

global model provides the boundary conditions for a regional model.
