My primary research interest is in applying remote sensing approaches to improve knowledge of the Earth System, focusing predominantly on water and energy cycles at the land surface, but broadly interested in all applications encompassing terrestrial, atmospheric and oceanic components. Much of this research has involved estimating surface fluxes and states for hydrometeorological applications, but varies widely to include understanding the influence of aerosols on water and climate systems to estimating melt-area dynamics over the Greenland ice-sheet.
The ultimate aim of my research is to move towards an effective use and integration of observations to improve our ability to understand Earth processes. As a result I am active in field estimation of hydrometeorological variables, evaluation/validation of remote sensing data, and also techniques to incorporate diverse observations into modeling frameworks.
Prior to this appointment, I worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory where I was involved in research related to hyperspectral, aerosol and cryospheric remote sensing and Princeton University where I pursued research in hydrometeorological remote sensing, land surface modeling and observation/modeling validation studies.
