RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr. Strong's research spans atmospheric dynamics, climate modeling, and the interactions between climate and the biosphere. His work integrates physical and statistical methods to study extreme weather, water resources, and the impacts of climate on ecosystems, including bird migration patterns. By exploring the connections between climate variability and biosphere responses, Dr. Strong's research supports adaptation strategies and resilience in the face of global change
