Christina Patricola

The primary goal of my research is to understand the physical relationships between extreme weather events, natural climate variability, and climate change within the coupled Earth system. I design and perform high-resolution numerical climate model simulations to investigate connections between the large-scale climate and extreme weather events, including tropical cyclones, floods, storms, and drought.

Research areas:
- climate variability and change
- climate dynamics
- tropical cyclones
- extreme weather/climate events
- atmosphere-ocean interactions
- high-resolution climate modeling
