Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Ian M. Howard's research focuses on reconstructing past climate and environmental conditions using dendrochronology and historical records. His work includes studies on summer precipitation responses in the southwestern United States, drought relief and reversal over North America, and hurricane impacts in the Caribbean. He has also investigated the relationship between climate and tree growth in borderland natural areas of Texas and Northern Mexico. Howard has contributed to research on heavy precipitation in California reconstructed from blue oak tree rings and the flood risk and water supply implications of seasonal precipitation in Northern California.

His collaborations include extensive work with David W. Stahle, with whom he has co-authored nine publications. Howard also collaborates with Daniela Granato-Souza and Malcolm K. Cleaveland. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 10, 34 total publications, and 586 total citations.
