My research group investigates planetary climates, with a focus on hydrologic cycles such as those of Earth and Titan. This research encompasses atmospheric dynamics, paleoclimate studies, radiative transfer, atmosphere-surface interactions, some atmospheric chemistry, and many other interdisciplinary topics. We mainly use a range of numerical simulations, in combination with observational and laboratory data, with the goal of understanding the processes occurring in the atmospheres of various planets, as well as how these have changed over time.

At the moment we are focused on three broad, overlapping areas: The climate of Titan, Earth’s changing water cycle over the last few million years, and the impact of variability in planetary atmospheres.

More information is available in the Research and Collaborations pages; also take a look through our Publications.
