Scalia Laboratory for Atmospheric Analysis
 

Current research focuses on climate change and latent effects and feedbacks of a changing atmospheric composition. Working at the Scalia Laboratory for Atmospheric Analysis offers an opportunity to participate in a project to increase resolution for forecast modeling. As Associate Director, past research focused on the collection of cold air in low lying areas within complex terrain in SE Ohio.  This research developed threshold values for various parameters that influence minimum temperatures within a high resolution microclimate during the development of nocturnal katabatic flows.
