My primary areas of research are in climate variability and change, particularly with respect to the Arctic region. My work involves analysis of atmospheric and ocean dynamics, satellite remote sensing, synoptic climatology, and analysis of output from numerical weather prediction models, land surface models and coupled global climate models. I also have very strong interests and activities in science education and communication to the media and public. In recent years I have been drawn into emerging geopolitical issues in the quickly changing Arctic.
