I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE).

I have many research interests in the areas of atmospheric hazards, extreme events, and applied climatology. Recent research has focused on:

• The impact of weather on transportation
• The climatology of various types of windstorms
• Geographies of wind fatalities, and of warned and unwarned fatalities due to convective wind and tornadoes
• The travel of tornado debris
• Extreme precipitation events and how these may change under a changing climate
• Public perception and understanding of National Weather Service watches, warnings, and advisories for severe weather

Updates on current and ongoing projects can be found below. You can also view a brief CV. Other items coming soon!
