معرفی
Colin Zarzycki is an Associate Professor of Meteorology and Climate Dynamics at Penn State University, specializing in simulating extreme atmospheric phenomena and bridging weather-climate scale gaps. His work focuses on high-resolution climate modeling for tropical cyclones, snowstorms, atmospheric rivers, and other extremes, with applications in climate change impact assessment and hazard mitigation.
- Penn State Faculty since 2021
- Former Project Scientist at NCAR (2014-2021)
- Ph.D. in Atmospheric Science (University of Michigan, 2014)
Research interests include:
- Variable-resolution climate models for regional refinement
- Tropical cyclone dynamics in global climate frameworks
- Snowstorm tracking algorithms (ESTA software)
- Cyclone metrics (CyMeP package)
- Aerosol radiative forcing with spatial heterogeneity
Recent publications span 2011-2024, emphasizing tropical cyclone modeling (12+ papers), extreme weather detection algorithms (3 software tools), and climate change impacts on snowstorms. Key collaborations include NCAR and Columbia IRI partnerships.
