Climate intervention
Climate intervention is the study of potential methods to intervene in the Earth system to reduce the risks of climate change. I study stratospheric aerosol injection: a proposal to place reflective particles in the upper atmosphere, cooling the planet by blocking a small portion of incoming sunlight. I use output from Earth system modeling experiments to identify potential risks and benefits of this approach.
I led a project to create a set of four short animated videos describing climate intervention for a general audience, focused on the work done by the Barnes, Hurrell, and Keys groups at CSU and our collaborators. Check them out at the Barnes Group website! [link]

Atmospheric ice growth
Ice habit diagrams display the shapes of ice as a function of thermodynamic conditions. Many diagrams in the scientific literature and in educational materials do not reflect the most recent science. In my undergraduate research, I created a new ice diagram based on up-to-date research. This diagram was specifically designed to be useful for students and non-ice microphysics experts, and to facilitate meteorological data visualization.
