The university’s chapter of the American Meteorological Society climbed Mount Washington annually, and Chris has made several return trips since graduation. The wintertime flooding of the Pemi River was educational as well – trying to get your car to a parking space where it wouldn’t be damaged by ice jams!
Chris presented a paper, “How to Improve Communication During Times of Severe Weather,” at the AMS annual meeting in New Orleans.

Researching his paper, Chris worked extensively with the Wisconsin fire departments.

He was also sent to cover two EF4 tornados, which hit Washington, Illinois and Rochelle, Illinois.
