Jennifer Haase

Jennifer Haase is a Professor at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) within Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. Her research spans atmospheric science and geophysics, focusing on atmospheric rivers, tropical wave interactions, seismic hazard analysis, and remote sensing using GNSS technology. She leads a multidisciplinary team with expertise in geodesy, meteorology, and data assimilation.

Education:

• B.S. in Geophysics, California Institute of Technology (1985)
• Ph.D. in Earth Science, Scripps Institution of Oceanography (1992)

Research Interests:

• Atmospheric Science: Atmospheric river dynamics, stratospheric remote sensing, airborne data assimilation, and hurricane development.
• Geophysics: Seismogeodesy for earthquake early warning, seismic hazard assessment, and tomography.

Recent Research Trends: Her work emphasizes innovative observational techniques like airborne radio occultation (ARO) to improve weather forecasting and climate models. Key contributions include applying GNSS for real-time surface deformation monitoring during earthquakes and advancing atmospheric river reconnaissance to address data gaps in extreme weather events.

Awards: No specific awards listed in the text.

Advising & Grants: Current advisees include PhD candidates Haley Lowes-Bicay and Kate Lord, among others. Collaborations involve the Center for Western Weather and Water Extremes (CW3E) and NASA initiatives. Recent grants focus on seismic risk assessments and tsunami hazard modeling under climate change.

Teams & Labs: Research team includes staff scientists (e.g., Bing Cao), postdocs (e.g., Nghi Do), and engineers (John Souders). Former members now hold faculty positions at institutions like SDSU and Wroclaw University of Technology.
