Associate Professor at University of Minnesota
Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul Area
I am a faculty member in the Geography Department at the University of Minnesota. I teach courses in meteorology, climatology, and environmental geography. My current research projects include (1) wind climatology and wind energy resources, particularly in the upper Midwest of the United States; (2) the impacts of past climate variability on the yield of small grains in Minnesota; and (3) the wintertime urban heat island in Minneapolis.
I also serve on the Board of Directors for Eureka Recycling, a nonprofit environmental business in Minnesota that provides recycling, composting and waste reduction services, education, and advocacy.
