We bridge the gap between climate science, oceanography and statistics to quantify and understand variability and change.
Recent advances in climate and ocean monitoring, observational platforms, measurement techniques, and Earth System models contribute to a rapid increase in quality and quantity of available data. Our efforts are based on a range of interdisciplinary approaches that implement statistical and machine learning techniques to make best use of observations and outputs from model simulations. The ultimate goal of our work is to reduce some of the greatest uncertainties about ocean and climate variability and change.
We are located in the Ocean Sciences Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz.
“UC Santa Cruz is located on the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.”
