My major research interests include understanding the role of snow cover in the global climate system, the influence of land-surface changes (natural and human induced) on regional climates, environmental monitoring, environmental policy and resource management, and sustainability of global systems, especially in the context of climate variation, climate change and land-surface surface changes.
I am the co-director of the Delaware Environmental Observing System (DEOS). DEOS is a support tool for decision makers involved in environmental policy and planning, natural resource management, emergency management, transportation and other activities throughout the Delmarva Peninsula. |
