CW3E Welcomes Dr. Joseph Clark

October 24, 2025

Joseph P. Clark joined CW3E in September 2025 as a Postdoctoral Research Associate. He earned his Ph.D. in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science from The Pennsylvania State University in June 2021, where his research spanned topics such as Arctic amplification and the thermodynamic and radiative processes underlying large-scale teleconnections.

Following his doctorate, Joseph completed two postdoctoral appointments at Princeton University. His first position examined the sensitivity of the Intertropical Convergence Zone to changes in climate model configuration, while his second focused on the seasonal predictability of atmospheric rivers and precipitation across North America. During his time at Princeton and NOAA/GFDL, he also participated in community engagement initiatives and mentored undergraduate interns.

At CW3E, Joseph’s research will extend to exploring the seasonal predictability of precipitation and atmospheric rivers over the Mediterranean region. Outside of work, he enjoys running, hiking, swimming, and music.
