• People Change Not Climate Change

Climate Lab at UConn

Our research group, lead by Professor Anji Seth, studies earth’s climate variability and change in the recent past and future, with an emphasis on regional processes. Our work is computationally intensive, using climate models and large high-resolution observational datasets. We are especially interested in questions relevant to regional climate adaptation. Our group is comprised of PhD students, undergraduate students and at times post-doctoral fellows.
