I’m an assistant professor at the University of Toronto in the Department of Physics. I research the atmospheres of solar system planets and exoplanets and teach physics of climate.
Mars exhibits less atmospheric variability at the solstices than it does during periods nearer the equinoxes. Much of this variability in air temperature and dust activity is attributable to a significant decrease in eastward traveling transient wave amplitudes in the lower atmosphere near the solstice…
Observations provide increasing evidence of a methane hydrological cycle on Titan. Earth-based and Cassini-based monitoring has produced data on the seasonal variation in cloud activity and location, with clouds being observed at increasingly low latitudes as Titan moved out of southern summer…
