Richard B Rood Professor Email: rbrood@umich.edu Telephone: (734) 647-3530 Fax: (734) 936-0503 Office: 2525 Space Research Building [ Download CV ] Education: Ph.D., Meteorology, Florida State University M.S., Meteorology, Florida State University B.S., Physics, University of North Carolina Research: 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. Students: Cédric Drui Erika Roesler

Dynamical Meteorology Lectures

Climate Change Class:  Climate Change: The Move to Action

High-End Climate Science: Development of
Modeling and Related Computing Capabilities

Thi s report was written for the Office of Science and Technology Policy in 2000.  It's an analysis and strategy for organizing climate modeling in the U.S.  Some consider it a "computing report," but that's not all the authors intended.
