Katherine Hirschboeck Associate Professor, Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research, University of Arizona PhD, Geosciences, University of Arizona, 1985 Katie Hirschboeck's research involves the climatology and hydroclimatology of extreme events—especially floods, paleofloods, and droughts—which she analyzes from the perspective of their meteorological and climatological causes and their long-term variability. She also uses synoptic climatology and dendroclimatology to link tree-ring responses to anomalous atmospheric circulation patterns. Her work is aimed toward a more explicitly defined understanding of interactions between physical processes operating in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and geosphere—specifically climatic variability, flood and drought hydroclimatology, and synoptic dendroclimatology.
