  mentoring_philosophy: 'My general inclination as a mentor is to allow students space for creativity and exploring ideas on their own; however, I recognize the importance of being flexible and planning to have different levels of hands-on engagement and direction depending on student needs and their progress in the project. The beginning stages of a project will naturally have more “hands-on” involvement. I will meet with students individually at least every other week and hold regular group meetings that will include research updates as well as professional development and discussions of topics like research ethics. I also believe in the importance of having multiple mentors, as no one individual can provide everything a student may need in terms of research and career guidance and general life advice and will thus assist my students with networking opportunities. Each student in my group will complete an Individual Development Plan to help identify personal and career goals and evaluate progress toward meeting those goals. My group will be a safe environment in which “failing forward” is encouraged, challenges are viewed as opportunities for growth, and all perspectives are valued.'

  overall_research_project_description: 'Global warming due to greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels and deforestation poses a substantial and growing risk to the wellbeing of humans and ecosystems around the world. Some scientists have proposed deliberate interventions to make Earth reflect more sunlight, termed solar radiation modification (SRM), to temporarily offset some of the effects of global warming and buy society more time to reduce emissions and develop carbon dioxide removal technology. Although it is very likely that SRM would work to reduce Earth’s global average surface temperature, how SRM would change temperature and precipitation patterns locally is an open question. In this project, students will analyze global climate model data to assess how SRM and global warming would change “climate zones,” or regions with certain temperature and precipitation characteristics that support particular types of ecosystems. Results will help us determine whether SRM could ameliorate some of the risks of climate change on humans and ecosystems — or if it would be likely to exacerbate those risks instead.'
