Our research focuses on how human-driven changes to land cover and aerosol emissions impact clouds, and what those impacts mean for precipitation, extreme weather, and Earth’s radiation budget. To better understand the physical processes driving changes in
clouds, we use a combination of high-resolution numerical models, satellite data, and field observations.</div>
