... , mesoscale modeling of atmospheric flow over complex terrain, chaos theory and its applications to the atmosphere, global land-atmosphere interactions, ocean-atmosphere interactions, sea iceatmosphere interactions, monsoon dynamics, remote sensing, and most recently, nonlinear dynamics of vegetation. In the past ten years, he has focused on the land-atmosphere-ocean-seaice interface processes of the earth's climate system by integrating global modeling with remote sensing and in-situ data.
