My expertise centers on understanding the drivers of extreme weather variability and predictability. My research led to my role as a co-lead for NOAA/CPO's Subseasonal-to-Seasonal Prediction Task Force, the role of chair of the American Meteorological Society's Board on Enterprise Economic Development, and my membership in the National Academies Board of Atmospheric Science and Climate. My group works on understanding the processes that allow us to forecast high-impact weather events at longer forecast lead times, identifying and categorizing the sources of uncertainty and biases in subseasonal forecasts, and assessing the risk and potential impacts in extreme weather events. My group is or has had previous collaborations with the risk/insurance, energy, and commodities sectors.
