Dr. Corene Matyas is leading a group of BS, MS, and PhD students who are working on research related to tropical cyclones in conjunction with her CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation. Please visit our website (hurricane.geog.ufl.edu) to learn more about the team, our publications and presentations, certificate programs in Applied Atmospheric Science and Meteorology and Climatology, new courses developed for these certificates, and our local chapter of the American Meteorological Society. Below is a list of current team members and their research interests.
