Sustainability Leadership Fellow Cohort: 2023-2024

Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Atmospheric Science

Research Summary: I research how climate change is impacting hurricanes, with a focus on their rainfall. I utilize both climate models and observations from satellites to explore how much more rainfall hurricanes produce with every 1°C of climate warming and the factors that cause this increase in rainfall. This research is important because it can help coastal communities prepare for the dangerous hazards caused by hurricane landfalls in the future, such as flash flooding and landslides.
