Earth and Environmental Sciences

I am a Quaternary Geochronologist interested in the evolution of Earth's surface, at the scale of sand grains up to the scale of mountain ranges. My expertise is luminescence dating, a technique which dates when a mineral was last exposed to sunlight or geothermal heat. My research typically involves field work, topographic analysis, numerical modeling, and the application of a variety of geo- and thermo-chronometers in addition to luminescence dating.

• Her research centers on environmental chemicals and persistent toxic substances. The ideal goal of her research is to seek prospective solutions to prevent social damages caused by these chemicals of concerns, and to protect human health, ecosystem and the environment by understanding the occurrence, fate, interaction mechanism and associated risks of environmental chemicals.

• We develop and evaluate an ensemble-based air quality forecasting system that integrates multiple models to improve predictions of air pollution events. This approach enhances forecast accuracy by reducing uncertainties associated with individual models and provides probabilistic air quality assessments for decision-makers. Our ensemble system supports air quality management, emergency response, and public health initiatives.

• The Air Quality Modeling Lab at the University of Texas at Arlington is looking for highly motivated students to join our team! We welcome high school students, undergraduate students, master’s students, and Ph.D. students who are interested in air quality modeling, atmospheric composition, extreme weather impacts, and climate research.

• Our research focuses on the use of natural-occurring tracers to underpin processes governing hydrological responses in tropical and subtropical landscapes; from precipitation formation to groundwater and surface water connectivity across mountainous, coastal, and urban environments. Our tracer-aided methods and applications integrate high-frequency sampling, GIS, and statistical and modeling assessments.

• We utilize comprehensive earth system models developed by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), as well as NCAR’s supercomputing facilities. These resources are applied to paleoclimate projects, which include examining oceanic dynamics that contributed to the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event, and abrupt climate change during the Younger-Dryas as well as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. Research also involves regional climate exploring the urban heat island of the Dallas-Fort Worth area in relation to drought conditions.
