The Eye of the Storm Lecture – Adventures in Lifelong Learning

This lecture will highlight the importance of exploration in hurricane research. We’ll discuss the cutting edge satellite, aircraft and instrument technologies that are being used to help us better understand what makes hurricanes tick. Dr. Jason Dunion is a research meteorologist at the University of Miami and also works closely with the NOAA Hurricane Research Division in Miami, FL. He specializes in satellite remote sensing of hurricanes and has led the development of several new satellite products for monitoring tropical cyclones and Saharan dust storms. He has served as Director of the Hurricane Research Division’s Field Program, acted as chief scientist on several Hurricane Hunter research missions using NOAA’s G-IV high altitude jet and P-3 Orions, and has flown on over 50 hurricane hunter flights
