Michelle McCrystall is a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Canada. Her research focuses on two areas focusing on Arctic climate.
The first of these includes determining the drivers of Arctic climate, specifically, investigating the tropical and other remote teleconnections and their impact on Arctic circulation, temperature and sea ice. Secondly, Michelle researches the changes in future Arctic climate with a specific focus on mean and extreme precipitation events and how these are changing into the future with a particular focus of their impact on rain-on-snow events across the Arctic.
