I am a co-investigator for the GeoCarb mission, which was recently selected by NASA under the Earth Venture Mission program. I have a doctoral degree from the Department of Mathematics at the University of Oklahoma, and am a research scientist for the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences. I became fascinated with the motions of the atmosphere after I was hired to work on computational algorithms for weather prediction. That fascination continues to this day, and drives my research as I study interactions between the atmosphere and land surface using satellite measurements. My current research emphasis is combining satellite observations with models to better understand interactions between the atmosphere and the land surface. My first postdoctoral position was with the National Severe Storms Laboratory, where I worked on data assimilation with boundary layer thermodynamic profilers, that is instruments that estimate the temperature and moisture in the lowest kilometers of the atmosphere.
