Research Areas:
Involves both field observations and modeling analysis, for process studies,
hypothesis – driven experimentation, and societal applications.
Research focus is on studying and representing land surface processes and
effects of vegetation – atmosphere interactions on environmental processes at
different scales. Current research projects are in following areas: Terrestrial
Ecosystem and Atmosphere, Agricultural Air Quality, Carbon and Hydrological
Cycle, Biospheric Processes in Weather and Regional Climate Models, Land
Atmosphere Interactions, Agriculture Meteorology, Applied Climatology,
Hydrometeorology, PBL and Mesoscale Processes, Climate Informatics, Remote and
Land based Observational Systems.
Teaching:
Weather and Climate - Spring 2006
Land Surface Modeling - Fall 2006
Biosphere-Atmosphere Simulation
Extension:
State Climatologist for Indiana and Director State Climate Office of Indiana
The State Climate Office is the source of all climate information and official
climate data for the State.
The State Climate Office is engaged in research, outreach and educational
activities related to monitoring, predicting, and developing applications of
climate information that would benefit the citizens and organizations in the
state. The state climatologist is also a link with the national climate programs
and studies and provides expertise on various aspects of climate and
environmental studies.
