Research Interests:
My primary research focus is in seasonal prediction of Atlantic basin tropical cyclones. I have also developed
a webpage that details landfall probabilities of tropical cyclones for the United States coastline (available at
http://www.e-transit.org/hurricane). Other meteorological interests include large-scale climate phenomena
(such as El Nino-Southern Oscillation) and mid-latitude weather.
