• October 2007: Filmed for Discovery Science Special on Climate Stories of 2007
• September 2007: Reported on 2007 record Arctic sea ice loss and its global significance: collaborated on an analysis of the factors contributing to the extreme ice losses in 2007 with M. Serreze, J. Maslanik, M. Holland, W. Meier, and T. Scambos
• May 2007: Reported on the accelerated decline in Arctic sea ice in relationship to climate model predictions from the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4)
• 2007: Attended annual MAP Science Team Meeting (Baltimore, MD), Annual ARCUS meeting (Washington, DC), European Geophysical Union (Vienna, Austria), IUGG (Perugia, Italy), ICESat-II Meeting (Baltimore, MD)
• October 2006: Reported on 2006 Arctic sea ice minimum and its global warming significance; collaborated on an analysis of the predicted and observed sea ice decline rates with W. Meier, M. Serreze, M. Holland, and T. Scambos.
• March 2006: Participated in a field campaign in Barrow, Alaska, to validate AMSR-E sea ice products
• 2006: Attended the Polar Feedback Meeting (Boulder, CO), ARCUS meeting (Washington, DC), Workshop on Climate Variabilities and Extremes in the last 100 years (Thun, Switzerland), International Glaciological Society meeting (Cambridge, UK), American Geophysical Union (San Francisco, CA)
• Served on National Academies of Science panel to design an Arctic Observing Network

Outreach for 2007

• Provided science advice for screenplay writers with the Curious Theatre Company in Denver, Colorado
• Provided International Polar Year (IPY) Science Data Stories on Sea Ice (Live Webcast)
• Gave preconcert talk at "First Person: Stories from the Edge of the World," held in Macky Auditorium, University of Colorado

Current Research [top]

• Diagnosing the declining Arctic sea ice cover using a combination of modeling and observational data
• Examining changes in climate variables in the Arctic using satellite imagery; studying how each variable changes in the context of other cryospheric variables on local and regional basis; a clearer pattern of climatic change will emerge than is achievable by studying trends in any one variable alone
• Developing blended scatterometry/passive microwave data for improved sea ice products
• Working on QuikSCAT sea ice extent, developed by David Long at BYU
• Validating AMSR-E sea ice products using a forward modeling approach
