postdoc @ NASA working on hydroclimate and drought 🌬️ previously @ columbia & princeton ❤ she/they
pinned post!
hi bluesky~ my name is tess, and i'm a climate scientist studying drought, fire, and climate variability and change! i recently defended my PhD on the climate dynamics that drive forest fire in the Western US at
@lamont.columbia.edu
and started as an NPP fellow at NASA GISS. excited to be here ❤

the final bit of my PhD work is now out in ERL! we look at how recent trends in tropical Pacific SSTs contributed to forest fire & climate trends in the Southwest US vs Eastern Australia (two super fire-prone regions with opposite-signed ENSO teleconnections) 🔥🌬️

Lots of buzz online about an upcoming major March heatwave for the American SW & California. And in this case, it does indeed appear increasingly likely than an extremely anomalous and even record-breaking heatwave may envelop much of the SW about a week from now.

⚠️new(-ish) paper in Journal of Climate⚠️ i evaluated CMIP6 models' Pacific decadal SST variability and teleconnections... big takeaway is that models under-simulate temporal PDO/IPO variability on decadal timescales, likely affecting precip trends in the Southwest
