Ryan L. Sriver is a professor in the Department of Climate, Meteorology & Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since joining UIUC in 2012, he has previously worked as a research associate at Penn State's Department of Geosciences and as a NOAA Climate and Global Change postdoctoral fellow in Penn State's Department of Meteorology. Ryan graduated from Purdue University with a PhD in Earth Atmospheric Sciences. His research aims to develop a deeper understanding of the physical processes influencing the variability of the Earth's climate system and to quantify the uncertainties surrounding future climate projections. His work combines observational products, statistical methods, and numerical models across a wide range of complexities and scales to understand how extreme weather and climate events vary over time, physical drivers involved, and their implications for natural and human systems. His research interests include Climate Dynamics, Earth System Modeling, Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions, Uncertainty Risk, Weather Climate Extremes, Tropical Cyclones, Sea-Level Rise, Seasonal Prediction, and Multi-Sector Dynamics.
GRE is optional for admission to all graduate programs in Statistics. Full status admission requires higher language scores than limited status.
