Talk title: "Integrating Atmospheric and Social Sciences to Collect Longitudinal Social Science Observations during Extreme Weather"

Julie works at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) where she is both a Project Scientist in the Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Lab and the Lead of the NCAR Convergence Science Program. Julie has an interdisciplinary background in both physical and social science, with a BS and MS in atmospheric science (MS from CSU!) and a PhD in communication with a focus on risk. She conducts research on hazardous weather risk communication, risk perception, and decision-making, including how these intersect with predictability and prediction capabilities. Her love for weather and its effects on people stems from when 7 tornadoes hit Grand Island, NE, on June 3, 1980, where her family lived at the time.
