Currently my research focuses on winter climate at ski resorts in western North America. What factors influence climate at ski resorts currently, and in the past. How will climate change alter the spatial and temporal distribution of winter climate at these resorts.

Using ClimateBC and ClimateWNA to create high quality climate projections, for both historical analysis, and future projections. Taking this raw data and performing statistics to infer what climate has actually been over the 20th century, and how it is projected to change into the future.

Mapping the results in ArcGIS to identify spatial patterns in the data. Using ArcGIS to creates excellent visuals which are easily interpreted and clearly convey meaning to any audience.
