My research focuses on statistical models and methods for spatial and spatial-temporal processes. In particular, I am interested in the nature of the spatial-temporal interactions implied by these models and on developing statistical methods for assessing these interactions. My main motivation for studying spatial-temporal processes is to describe variations in the physical environment. In recent years, most of my efforts in this direction relate to problems in climate and weather. Two topics of current interest are methods for combining output from deterministic climate models with observational data to produce realistic spatially and temporally resolved simulations of future temperature and precipitation fields, and ways of estimating temperature extremes that take proper account of seasonality, long-term trends and spatial structure.
