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.

Dr. Barlow is a Professor of Climate Science in the Department of Environmental, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences 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 events, in locations ranging from the Northeast US to the Middle East. 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.
