"Sources of Background in Space-based Mass Spectrometers"
This seminar will examine various aspects of tornadoes and hail, including: spatio-temporal trends, changes in exposure, sub-seasonal prediction, and projected impacts of climate change. Dr. Gensini's research umbrella covers extreme weather and climate, with specific interests focused on: severe convective storms, synoptic/mesoscale meteorology, applied climatology, GIS techniques, geoscience data visualization, weather forecasting and climate change. My research has primarily focused on the relationship between severe convective storms and climate change by utilizing dynamical downscaling from a convective permitting regional climate model. Currently, a majority of my research is examining weather and climate dynamics that explain variability in extreme weather (e.g., hail, tornadoes, heavy rain, heat waves) frequency and analyzing ways to forecast these events at sub-seasonal to seasonal time scales.
