Richard A. Frazin
rfrazin@umich.edu |
I have always been fascinated by how scientists learn about the Universe we all share. After all, no one can measure the temperature in the center of a star or see subatomic particles. This curiosity about the scientific learning process naturally led me to questions about the information content of various types of data. In particular, I have been researching issues that involve retrieving 3D (and more D) information from many types of 2D images of the Sun. |

My current research is focused on bridging the study of weather and climate. I am funded by NASA to study dynamical features as objects and to develop new methods for analyzing climate models. I am funded by the Department of Energy to study sub-scale mixing processes in climate models.
I teach a class on climate change and the interface of climate change with all aspects of society. This is a graduate class, taught in concert with the School of Natural Resources and Environment. The class includes business students, policy students, as well as students from several science derpartments. It's cool, and it's the future. |
