Unusual weather patterns are making it difficult to predict how Hurricane Florence will move toward the Carolinas, explains Suzana Camargo, executive director for Columbia University’s Initiative on Extreme Weather and Climate.
It is with great sadness that Columbia announces the death of our dear colleague Walter Mischel on September 12, 2018. He was the Robert Johnston Niven Professor Emeritus of Humane Letters.
A team of weather and storm experts, including Columbia’s Suzana Camargo, is working to enhance climate models; the project will help to improve forecasts of intense hurricanes like Hurricane Florence.
Scientists at Columbia’s Earth Institute are using simulations to test how well different methods protect coastal areas from hurricanes and sea level rise.
