Research Interests
After earning a degree in meteorology, Alex pursued his doctorate at the University of Michigan, where he explored atmospheric interactions with vegetation in climate and atmospheric chemistry models. As a research fellow with NE CASC, Alex provided guidance on climate assessments and scenarios to help partners and stakeholders of the Center make informed decisions toward climate change adaptation. Such guidance ranges from climate model selection to translating output to environmental response. As part of this work, Alex explored the utility of downscaled regional climate models for climate change adaptation in the northeast region.
