In his work, he uses observations and computer models to understand variability and change in Earth’s atmosphere. Grise’s current research focuses on how the interaction between clouds and the jet stream might lead to important radiative feedbacks in future climate scenarios. Grise arrived at U.Va. last fall following two years as a postdoctoral research scientist at Columbia University. Before that, he spent a year at McGill University in Montreal as a postdoctoral fellow and received his Ph.D. and M.S. in atmospheric science from Colorado State University. The recipient of a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship, Grise also served as co-author on the 2010 World Meterological Organization Scientific Assessment of Ozone Depletion. He holds a bachelor’s degree in meteorology from Penn State University.
