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. Software development highlights: Betacast - Hindcasting framework for CESM TempestExtremes - Extreme detection in climate data CyMeP - Tropical cyclone metrics package ExTraTrack - Extratropical transition analysis ESTA - Snowstorm tracking algorithm
