Malaria is a serious and life-threatening mosquito-borne disease that every year affects over 200 million individuals and causes 400,00 deaths. An additional 0.5 billion people globally are at risk of malaria infection. The unique role of climate in influencing malaria transmiss…
During modern times of unprecedented climate change, historical and geological records of past climate allow us to understand and project ancient patterns in the carbon and water cycle. Plants and soils are excellent records for climate because of the direct interaction between …
Alligator gar belong to an ancient lineage that dates back over 215 million years. Historically, alligator gar populations occurred in the Mississippi River basin from Illinois (USA) to Mexico. Alligator gar populations have been reduced or extirpated throughout much of their ra…

Migration is a basic adaptation method to inhospitable environments and has large economic consequences for the migrants themselves and for the economy as a whole. I create new datasets using individual-level census data and county-level drought conditions to study how the worst…
Typically, multi-model ensemble studies show mixed responses of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) under global warming, so it is currently unknown how, or even if, global warming will impact ENSO and its teleconnections. ENSO is governed by various ocean-atmosphere interaction…
