The Climate System Dynamics group in the Dept of Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Lowell researches how natural and anthropogenic perturbations to the earth system influence climate and weather events. We are interested in using insights from this work to better understand the role of climate and weather in shaping societies and ecosystems in the past, and to prepare for climate related impacts in the future.
