Mathew A. Barlow
Professor, University of Massachusetts Lowell
Dr. Barlow is a Professor of Climate Science at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. His research interests focus on the influence of large-scale climate variability and change on local conditions of importance to society, with an emphasis on extreme weather events. He has contributed to climate assessments as a Lead Author in Working Group I for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) and as the precipitation team leader for the 2016 and 2022 Boston climate reports.
