The sections below describe my research interests. If you are student who is interested in working with me on my research, please see here.
Computer Science
Some specific topics that I am interested in include:
- Alternative credentialing and assessment methods
- Interactive virtual teaching environments
- Cognitive science approaches to developing interfaces to enable climate model modularity
Faith-Ethics-Science-Policy Dynamics
I am interested in the interaction between science and policy, with particular attention paid to the roles of faith and ethics in the interactions and a focus on environmental issues. The blog and website that supports my book, The Nature of Environmental Stewardship, summarizes my work in this area.
Atmospheric Sciences
Generally, I am interested in the interaction of "small-scale" phenomena with large-scale dynamics. How do the two influence each other? To what extent are the small-scale phenomena parameterizable, that is representable to the large-scale without being explicitly simulated? To that end, I am involved in diagnosing and developing parameterizations as well as general efforts at improving climate models. Some specific topics that I am interested in include:
- Intermediate-level modeling of the Arctic atmosphere
- Theoretical archetypes for understanding interactions between sea-ice and large-scale atmospheric dynamics
- Stochastic models of sub-grid sea-ice effects and the influence of such effects on polar climate variability
- Stochastic convective parameterizations and the effects of sub-grid variability on large-scale dynamics
- Maintenance mechanisms of the Madden-Julian oscillation
