Assistant State Climatologist
(850) 644-0719 phone
As the assistant state climatologist for Florida, my work involves direct climate services, education and outreach, and applied climate research. I coordinate user data requests and provide information about the historical and current climate and weather of Florida and the broader Southeast U.S. region. My research is focused on applied research topics that aim to address data and information needs that can inform planning and local decision making. Much of my research has explored historical climate trends and extremes, natural hazard risks, and community adaptation planning. I also serve as the Florida state co-coordinator of the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network (CoCoRaHS), a voluntary-based network of citizen scientists who measure and report precipitation from their own backyards.
