Sarah Larson is an Associate Professor in the Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences Department at North Carolina State University (NCSU). Her research focuses on climate variability, predictability, and the role of ocean dynamics in climate systems, particularly in relation to El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), and coupled atmosphere-ocean modeling. She leads the Climate Modeling & Predictability Group at NCSU, which uses advanced climate models and observational datasets to explore climate processes.
Dr. Larson holds a Ph.D. in Meteorology and Physical Oceanography from the University of Miami (2016) and a B.S. in Meteorology from the University of South Alabama (2011). She teaches courses in atmospheric dynamics and climate predictability. Her recent work emphasizes understanding how wind-driven ocean circulation influences climate trends, ENSO predictability, and regional climate impacts such as extreme rainfall and flash droughts.
Her research highlights the importance of ocean dynamics in decadal climate variability, including studies on the North Atlantic warming hole and the asymmetric impacts of ENSO teleconnections. Collaborative efforts in her group address climate model biases, stochastic processes in ENSO dynamics, and the application of climate projections to public health and infrastructure planning.
Dr. Larson’s work has been recognized through grants and collaborations, though no specific awards are mentioned in the provided texts. She actively mentors students and postdocs, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to climate science challenges.
