Dr. Alex Crawford is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Environment and Geography at the University of Manitoba. His research primarily focuses on extratropical cyclones, which are significant weather systems that bring rain, snow, and strong winds, particularly in the mid-latitudes and polar regions. Dr. Crawford has made important contributions in developing a code to detect and track these storms within datasets. His work examines the complex interactions between storm systems and the Arctic climate system, particularly in the context of global warming. He studies how changes in the Arctic surface impact storm development and how storms affect the Arctic land, ocean, ice, and human communities. Additionally, he investigates the seasonal timing of sea ice advances and retreats in the Arctic, understanding that these changes have substantial implications for human activities such as hunting and shipping, and affect marine ecology and weather events. His research heavily relies on large datasets, including atmospheric reanalysis and fully coupled Earth system models.
