KMap
I am interested in natural and anthropogenic climate changes, climate variability, large-scale ocean and atmosphere circulation, and climate system modeling. Recently, I focused on the ocean circulation in the Atlantic Ocean and regional sea level rise along the east coast the US. I develope and extensively use global climate/Earth system models such as the GFDL CM2/ESM2 and NCAR CCSM/CESM.
