Congratulations to Gabriel Kooperman on his recent move to University of Georgia for a position as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography! Gabe was a postdoctoral scholar at UCI, first in the laboratory of Michael Pritchard, and then with James Randerson. Gabe studies the influence of climate change on weather extremes using global climate models. He is an expert in understanding how the intensity and frequency of precipitation will change in response to rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
