Atmospheric Dynamics & Extreme Weather (ADEW) Group
Welcome to the ADEW research group!
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF). My group seeks to understand how atmospheric circulations interact across scales to shape extratropical weather and climate. We combine theory, analysis of reanalysis and model output, and idealized modeling to understand and isolate the key physical mechanisms governing weather and climate systems.
Prior to joining UAF, I worked with Prof. Yi Ming and Prof. Seok-Woo Son.
*** Graduate Student Opportunity — Fall 2027 ***
I am actively recruiting one M.S. or Ph.D. student to join the ADEW Group at UAF beginning in Fall 2027. Students interested in extreme weather, synoptic meteorology, large-scale atmospheric dynamics, or moist atmospheric dynamics are encouraged to contact Prof. Chanil Park (cpark15@alaska.edu), particularly those with a quantitative foundation in atmospheric sciences, mathematics, or physics.
