Dr. Justin Minder and I are seeking a postdoc to perform research on the characteristics and predictability of rainfall events over the Catskill mountains that impact the NYC water supply.
See atmos.albany.edu/facstaff/ta… for more info.
Application deadline is May 9, 2025.

Why does a warming climate concentrate tornadoes into fewer tornado days and lead to more tornadoes in the southeast U.S.? Our recent publication reveals that their association with different synoptic patterns may explain those changes across regions. doi.org/10.1038/s41612-025-0…

Why does the US Midwest experience so many tornadoes? Funing Li & Dan Chavas explain how the smooth Gulf of Mexico fuels Tornado Alley, while South America's rough Amazon basin limits tornadoes. Learn more in this Science Sessions podcast: ow.ly/rfHN50Tlq4E

North and South America both have geographical features that support tornado formation. Why then do they differ so much in tornado activity?

Why does the United States have the most #Twisters in the world? 🌪🐄
In short, topography. #NSFfunded scientists @LifeAtPurdue looked at South American severe storms to compare & better understand how tornadoes form there vs. here. bit.ly/3SVwe0T
