My research is in hydrological processes and mechanisms of Earth's hydrological cycle. My group develops mathematical models of regional land and sea hydrologic systems and we perform hypothesis-driven simulation studies to characterize uncertainty in water systems, with a focus on providing the scientific basis for designing and adapting water resource infrastructure in a changing global climate.
Peter is completing his master's degree in mechanical engineering, where his research focuses on the heat flow and thermal structure of the lower atmosphere. He is broadly interested in machine learning applications for climate physics and simulation. He received his BS in mathematics from the University of Toronto.
Gideon is an undergraduate mechanical engineering student at the University of Toronto. His research is focused on developing a numerical modeling system to assess the feasibility of solar-powered desalination plants, with a focus on the African continent. Gideon is interested in environmentally conscious design and innovations, and sustainable water supply systems.
Lucas is an undergraduate student in civil engineering at the University of Toronto. His research focuses on precipitation variability, specifically within the Lake Ontario and Saint Lawrence River watersheds where Canada’s two largest population centers are located. He is investigating shifts in precipitation characteristics using data sets from regional and global climate models.
David is an undergraduate student majoring in Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo. His current research focuses on the interannual and seasonal variability of sea surface temperature in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. David’s research interests are in short to medium-range forecasting of climate variability and occurrence of extreme events.
