The Climate System Dynamics group in the Dept of Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell studies the movement of atmospheric water and its exchanges with Earth's surface. We examine the processes that control this movement, including those related to evaporation and atmospheric circulation, to better understand the development of high-impact weather and climate events. We are interested in using insights from this work to explain the role of climate in shaping societies and ecosystems in the past, and to prepare for climate related impacts in the future.
