#AGU26 Hi everyone!! Please consider submitting your abstract to our session: A051 – Bridging the Gap from Climate to Extreme Weather: Theory, Modeling, and Observations! (agu.confex.com/agu/agu26/pre…)
Our @ScienceAdvances work on inversion constraints on humid heat and convection (science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…) is highlighted by MIT News! Thanks @MIT for the wonderful story! news.mit.edu/2026/new-resear…

New paper out in @ScienceAdvances ! As part of my postdoc research at @eapsMIT with Prof. Talia Tamarin-Brodsky, we show that hidden energy barriers in the atmosphere (low-level inversions) set the limits of surface heat and severe convection. Open access: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Dr. Justin Minder and I are seeking a postdoc to perform research on the characteristics and predictability of rainfall events over the Catskill mountains that impact the NYC water supply.
See atmos.albany.edu/facstaff/ta… for more info.
Application deadline is May 9, 2025.
We got a paper out about the U.S. tornado trend!! Congrats @Qinjiang46 !!
Why does a warming climate concentrate tornadoes into fewer tornado days and lead to more tornadoes in the southeast U.S.? Our recent publication reveals that their association with different synoptic patterns may explain those changes across regions. doi.org/10.1038/s41612-025-0…

Still working on grad school applications (or know someone who should be?) Apply to OU to work w/ a supportive cohort - myself included - on an NSF-funded grant exploring connections between extratropical transition and TC tornadoes! More details below: jruppert.oucreate.com/wp-con…
