Zack Labe
Pioneer Coal Mine Blue Whale of Catoosa Centralia Underground Fire Roadside America Greenland Sea (81°N)
Enjoy: roadside oddities, diners, and horror movies
Hobbies: gardening, #scicomm ( @ZLabe), hiking, traveling to lighthouses
Graduate work: Arctic – midlatitude climate variability (sea-ice changes)
Recent work: using AI to detect patterns of climate variability/change
Now at GFDL I am thinking about: detection and attribution of extreme events
Hometown – Linglestown,
Pennsylvania
BSc – Atmospheric Science
at Cornell University
PhD – Earth System Science
at UC Irvine
Postdoc – climate variability
