Hi! 👋 We are scientists studying Earth & environmental systems at CU Boulder. Our name = cold/high places, but these days we work from tropics to poles, incl. the world ocean. Follow us for
🧊 Cold regions
⌛ Past climate
🏔️ Earth surface processes
💨 Atmospheric gases
🌱 Ecological change
& lots more!

📣We're recruiting! 📣 Katie Suding and I are looking for a postdoc interested in modelling grassland fire and fuels to contribute to an ongoing project on evaluating how grassland management and variation in fuels can impact wildfire risk around Boulder, CO. See the link below for more information.
