• Decadal climate variability of the Arctic system
• Trends and variability in Arctic sea-ice concentration and thickness
• Analysis of model results and observed data to validate and improve model performance

My research focus is the physical oceanography of the Arctic Ocean through analysis of historical and model data. My current work is assessing of the ice volume of the Arctic Ocean, developing climate indices related to the seasonality of sea-ice freeze-up and break-up, and establishing measurements of sea-ice thickness over the Arctic Ocean.
