bio
Clinton Rowe’s main research area is in physical meteorology and climatology, specifically the fluxes of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary layer. He has been involved in several research projects about land surface-atmosphere interactions in the Nebraska Sand Hills and modeling the climate of Pangea during the Jurassic. He teach courses in physical meteorology as well as graduate seminars in boundary-layer meteorology, climatic change and other topics in meteorology and climatology. In addition, Dr. Rowe supervises all Meteorology/Climatology internships.

Ken Dewey is a professor of climatology in the School of Natural Resources. His main research and outreach interests are in severe storm climatology, climate variations, snow and ice studies, and drought impacts. His primary outreach activity is to bring information on severe weather and related safety tips to the public, in order to help them survive the storms. Dewey also maintains and produces content for the Lincoln Weather and Climate web site. This website offers timely regional weather information, so the public can keep up-to-date on droughts, major weather events and trends, etc. and make better decisions related to weather and climate. Storm reports and numerous weather-related photo galleries are some of its most popular products.

Mark Anderson is a professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, his research has focused on the climate and meteorology of polar regions, an area shown by computer models to experience extreme adjustments during climate change. He also has research interests in local weather phenomena in the Great Plains and surrounding regions. Through graduate student projects, he has investigated thermodynamic characteristics of heavy snowfall over eastern Nebraska, precipitation regimes and their variations over the Great Plains, and aircraft icing conditions over North America. His teaching interests include courses in synoptic, mesoscale, and satellite meteorology as well as seminars dealing with topics such as mountain meteorology and climatology using meteorological computer technology and more recently, mesoscale processes and modeling.
