Current Research Interests:
My expertise is in climatology and satellite remote sensing. These are
parts of physical geography, which is the study of the Earth's physical
environment and the processes responsible for its variations over
space. Within the field of climatology, there are also many sub-fields,
differentiated by topic and also scale. My particular areas of
climatology research are synoptic and dynamic climatology
(macro-scale), climate variations (climate dynamics), and the impacts
of human activities on climate (climate impacts).
