Marcus Lofverstrom
Associate Professor
Earth-system modeling and atmospheric dynamics
Dr. Marcus Lofverstrom is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Arizona. He received his PhD in meteorology from Stockholm University and completed postdoctoral research at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, CO.
His research uses numerical modeling to investigate climate variability and change on regional to hemispheric scales, with a particular emphasis on planetary waves, jetstream and storm-track dynamics, and two-way feedbacks and interactions between ice sheets and the large-scale circulation. At the University of Arizona, he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in scientific programming, numerical modeling, and climate dynamics.
Research Interests:
Climate variability and change; paleoclimate; planetary waves, jetstream, and stormtrack dynamics; the role of ice sheets in the Earth system; numerical modeling
