Malloy Climate Research Group

Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Climatology in the Department of Geography and Spatial Sciences at the University of Delaware. My group’s research focuses broadly on predictable climate variability and its applications. This includes climate dynamics, extratropical-tropical interactions, weather and climate extremes, climate risk, and subseasonal-to-seasonal predictability and prediction. I am also involved in a science communication project for general audiences (see Seasoned Chaos).

You can explore my webpage using the header at the top of the page. It contains information about the team, our research, and other relevant information. My professional social media & project accounts can be found below. Prospective students should visit the “Opportunities” tab for updates on openings in my lab. Enjoy!
