Research Interests

I am a hydroclimatologist trained in physical geography. I utilize methods and concepts from climatology, hydrology, and geography to ask and answer research questions surrounding spatial and temporal precipitation patterns, particularly variability in precipitation and its impacts. Specific components of my research agenda include: 1) patterns and variability in atmospheric moisture transport, 2) changing characteristics of extreme precipitation, and 3) integrating flood damage assessments with precipitation data to better improve extreme precipitation metrics and preparedness.
