Current Professional Focus
My current research focus at Oregon State University is the development of practical and effective methods
for the spatial analysis of climate across many temporal and spatial scales. I am the developer of PRISM, a spatial
climate modeling system that is well-known and respected worldwide. I am founder and director of the PRISM
Group, formerly the Spatial Climate Analysis Service, a group dedicated to producing state-of-the-science spatial
climate analyses. The PRISM Group mission is threefold: (1) Products: develop useful and high-quality spatial
climate maps and digital products; (2) Research: establish and maintain an innovative research program for spatial
climate modeling and analysis; and (3) Education: establish and promote the emerging discipline of geospatial
climatology, a powerful combination of climatology and spatial analysis.
The PRISM Group has succeeded in its mission by producing consistently high-quality spatial climate
products in use in thousands of applications worldwide, becoming the de-facto official climate mapping agency for
the US government (e.g., official USDA climate products and official NOAA climate atlas); maintaining a
productive line of research that has lead to continuous improvements in PRISM and related PRISM Group
technologies; and delivering papers, seminars and workshops espousing a foundational approach to climate mapping
that is paving the way for the development of geospatial climatology as a legitimate discipline.
