Our group in UCLA’s Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences is made up of talented researchers, postdoctoral scholars, graduate students, and staff. Our work focuses on reducing the uncertainty in future projections of climate, at both global and regional scales.
Many group members are also affiliated with the UCLA IoES Center for Climate Science, led by Alex Hall, which focuses on regional climate modeling and interdisciplinary projects using regional climate projections.
Interested in working in our group as a graduate or undergraduate student? Check out some helpful information for prospective students.
