Thomas Reichler

Thomas Reichler is a Professor in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah, with a career spanning since 2004. His research focuses on atmospheric circulation dynamics, climate change, and stratospheric-tropospheric interactions. He holds an ORCID identifier 0000-0002-5004-0110.

• Ph.D. in oceanography from the University of California (2003)
• Postdoctoral work at Princeton University
• Academic career at University of Utah: Research Assistant Professor (2004), Assistant Professor (2004-2010), Associate Professor (2010-2023), and Professor (2023-present)

His research interests integrate climate modeling, ozone-circulation interactions, and extreme stratospheric events such as Sudden Stratospheric Warmings (SSWs). Recent publications analyze tropical expansion, wave activity flux, and interhemispheric climate connections.

Reichler's grants include funding from NSF, NASA, and the World Bank, supporting studies on regional climate information for Bolivia and stratospheric dynamics. His teaching spans undergraduate and graduate courses on Climate Change, Dynamic Meteorology, and Experiential Learning.

Professional activities include community outreach through symposium judging and lectures on climate science. He collaborates extensively on global climate simulations and hydroclimate studies, maintaining a research network via https://www.inscc.utah.edu/~reichler/.
