brose@albany.edu

Fearless leader of the Rose research group! I’m passionate about science, education, math, the Earth, open-source software, bicycles, building communities, music (stringed instruments especially), food, drink, and family. When I’m not working, I’m basically a hobbit. You can download my full CV here.

I am generally interested in climate change, dynamics, and modeling. My current research involves using climate models to investigate the pattern effect, which refers to the coupling of patterns of ocean heat uptake (and sea surface temperature), radiative feedbacks, and climate sensitivity. Besides science, I enjoy playing guitar, bass, and video games, as well as reading fantasy and philosophy.

I have a strong interest in the processes and feedbacks taking place in the atmosphere and ocean. Currently, I focus on the rapid warming taking place over the desert. My goal is to explore the mechanisms responsible for it and the impacts this warming has on the regional and global climate. In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, travelling and photography.

Nabindra Gyawali#

I am interested in synoptic dynamics, land atmosphere interaction,and extreme precipitation events in general. Currently, I am working in identifying and attributing changes in the ratio of locally forced and synoptically forced midlatitude precipitation events using satellite remote sensing. In my spare time, I like playing tennis, hiking, and watching sports.

I have an interest in severe storms meteorology, in particular the processes that cause the genesis and strengthening of tornadoes. My current research involves the analysis of the Turin, NY tornado of 2023, specifically the roll of terrain and storm interactions in the progression of the tornado. Outside of science, I enjoy skiing, working out, and volunteering with my local fire department.
