Andrea Lopez Lang 1 I am recruiting a student interested in the dynamics of the extratropics, especially interested the interactions between the Arctic tropopause and the midlatitude wave guide. We are interested in understanding the development of precursors to high impact weather events. Reach out to andrea.lopez.lang@wisc.edu for more information.
Bee Leung 1-2 I am recruiting 1-2 graduate students to do research on how human-driven changes to land cover and aerosol emissions impact clouds, storms, precipitation, and Earth’s radiation budget. Potential student research topics may include: the diurnal cycle of convection over land, aerosol modulation of land-atmosphere interactions, and other applications of land-aerosol-cloud interactions on real-world systems (e.g., solar energy generation, deforestation, urbanization, agricultural and/or land management practices). Interested applicants may email Bee (bee.leung@wisc.edu) with the subject heading “Prospective Graduate Student Application”. Please include a copy of your CV and brief description of research interests and background.
Elizabeth Maroon TBD TBD, potentially a project related to ocean biogeochemistry in marine heatwaves
