Hi, I’m Clare Singer

Welcome to my website! I am a research scientist at CU Boulder (remote), working with Andrew Gettelman and Marika Holland on aerosol-cloud interactions in Arctic mixed-phase clouds and coupling between Arctic clouds and sea ice. My work focuses on the role of aerosols and clouds in the climate system. You can check out my research page to learn more about my projects.

Prior to my current position, I was a federal research scientist in the atmospheric physics division at NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory. In that position I led the development of the next-generation aerosol-cloud physics. From Oct 2023 to Oct 2024, I was a NOAA Climate & Global Change postdoc fellow at Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory hosted by Robert Pincus and Yi Ming. I defended my PhD in July 2023 in the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering at Caltech. I worked with Tapio Schneider studying boundary layer clouds and their interactions with greenhouse gases, aerosols, and radiation.

I use global climate models, pencil-and-paper theory, high-resolution large-eddy models, and satellite observations in my research. In my free time, you can find me playing with my cat Stella, exploring the food scene of NYC, or escaped to the mountains to hike/ski.
