My research and teaching interests focus primarily on the climatology of western North America, particularly with regard to drought and water issues. My recent research concerns the reconstruction of past climate and hydrology using tree rings, analysis of past and current climate, and the investigation of circulation features that influence climate, particularly at decadal and longer time scales. Current research projects include hydroclimatic reconstructions of the upper Rio Grande basin, investigations of past and current treelines in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, analysis of the climate signal in 5-needles pine species in western North America, and the translation of science to resource management applications.
