Overview

Mathew Barlow is affiliated with the University of Massachusetts Lowell in the United States. Their research focuses extensively on environmental science and earth and planetary sciences, with particular expertise in global and planetary change and atmospheric science. The scope of their work spans various interconnected disciplines including water science and technology, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, and oceanography.

Barlow's research addresses several main topics such as climate variability and models, meteorological phenomena and simulations, hydrology and drought analysis, cryospheric studies and observations, arctic and antarctic ice dynamics, atmospheric ozone and climate, and tropical and extratropical cyclones research.

The scientist has contributed to a number of recent papers, including:

  • Advances in understanding large-scale responses of the water cycle to climate change (2020, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences)
  • Linking Arctic variability and change with extreme winter weather in the United States (2021, Science)
  • Projected Changes in Temperature and Precipitation Over the United States, Central America, and the Caribbean in CMIP6 GCMs (2021, Earth Systems and Environment)
  • Surface-to-space atmospheric waves from Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption (2022, Nature)
  • How Well Do CMIP6 Historical Runs Match Observed Northeast U.S. Precipitation and Extreme Precipitation-Related Circulation? (2020, Journal of Climate)
