Her research focuses on understanding the physics of the Earth's climate using tools from applied mathematics, such as numerical models and asymptotic methods. She also analyzes observational and numerical model data-sets available at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory at Columbia University. Dr. Shaw received her B.Sc. in Atmospheric Science and Mathematics from the University of British Columbia in 2004, and her M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Toronto in 2005 and 2009, respectively.Department of Earth and Environmental SciencesApplied Physics and Applied MathematicsLamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
