Resume/CV

I am interested in using climate models to explore radiative forcing, climate response, and climate system feedbacks. My main areas of focus are climate engineering using stratospheric sulfate aerosols, reduced order modeling of the climate system, high latitude climate teleconnections, and uncertainty quantification for wind energy. I am also interested in applying engineering techniques, such as control theory, system identification, and linear systems theory, to climate modeling.

Planetary Geoscience

Kravitz’s modeling of the effects of atmospheric composition on climate and climate system feedbacks can be used to test hypotheses about the dynamics of exoplanetary atmospheres derived from remote sensing data on their chemical compositions.
