ORCID Google Scholar Twitter URL LinkedIn pronouns

I am a Research Scientist at the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), where I work in the Planetary Science Directorate in Boulder, CO. I study the climate dynamics of terrestrial atmospheres through the use atmospheric models of varying complexity, including general circulation models and mesoscale models. I am also involved in instrument development, using new laser based techniques to observe atmospheres and surfaces both in situ and remotely.

Programming and Markup Languages I use:

Fortran Python LaTeX Shell Script Markdown HTML5

janus-scripts icon janus-scripts

A collection of scripts that I leave in the /bin directory. Most of these scripts support my climate modeling work.

legacy-mars-global-climate-model icon legacy-mars-global-climate-model

We present the NASA Ames Legacy Mars Global Climate Model for public release. This model uses a modified version of the ARIES/GEOS dynamical core coupled with a set of Mars physics packages to simulate the martian climate. The physics packages include the treatment of surface properties, a ground temperature model, a planetary boundary layer scheme, water and carbon dioxide sublimation/condensation physics, a water ice cloud microphysical scheme, the use of a moment method for tracer transport, a semi-interactive dust tracking scheme, and a two-stream radiative transfer code based on correlated-k’s.
