Research and Expertise

The general focal points of my group's research on extremes are storms and their precipitation (mainly winter but not exclusively), droughts, storm-climate interactions, mountain weather and future changes in these features. In regards to storms, we are currently examining the nature of the various forms of winter precipitation across Canada, the coupled interaction between this precipitation and its associated environment, and the structure of winter and summer storms over several regions. In regards to future conditions, we are applying the knowledge being gained within the above topics to consider possible changes in the occurrence of extremes across many regions.
