Quantifying Arctic storm risk in a changing climate

I aim to quantify the current risk of Arctic storms to human activities in the Arctic. This includes quantifying the current frequency, intensity and spatial distribution of Arctic storms. I also aim to quantify how Arctic storms may change in a future climate in response to climate change. 

Why do you do what you do?

I am doing my PhD project because I am interested in meteorology and in particular, storms, which can have devastating consequences to human activity. I am also interested in the Arctic, as it is the most rapidly changing place on Earth due to climate change.
