Research Areas

  • Radiative forcing of aerosols and clouds
  • Remote sensing and in-situ observation of clouds
  • Solar energy applications
  • Atmospheric modeling

Professional Interests

Dr. Wilcox is statewide director for the Nevada NASA Space Grant Consortium and NASA EPSCoR programs. He is principal investigator for the federal awards that fund these programs and directs the distribution of these funds in scholarships and fellowships for STEM students at NSHE institutions and faculty seed grants for research, curriculum development and STEM training projects.

Dr. Wilcox’s research addresses the interactions among aerosols, clouds, and precipitation towards a goal of improved understanding of precipitation, cloud variability and radiative forcing of climate at regional scales. This work relies on satellite and in-situ observations, as well as simulations with numerical models of the atmosphere and climate.

Dr. Wilcox manages DRI’s atmospheric modeling group, which implements a wide range of numerical models, including fine-resolution atmospheric models for regional climate studies and applied research in water resources and renewable energy projects, air quality and chemistry models, and global coupled ocean/atmosphere climate models. Dr. Wilcox is also director of the Airborne Systems Testing and Environmental Research (ASTER) Laboratory which conducts and facilitates the development and use of unmanned aircraft, payloads, and data analysis for a broad range of applications in the environmental sciences.

Dr. Wilcox teaches Atmospheric Physics (ATMS 411/611) and Atmospheric Modeling (ATMS 746) at University of Nevada, Reno.He also serves as a member representative to the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) on behalf of the Nevada System of Higher Education.
