Profs and Pints presents: “What Hurricanes Are Telling Us,” a look at the forces that generated this year’s big storms and the risks that such weather trends pose to the Washington region. With Raghu Murtugudde, professor of atmospheric and oceanic science and earth-system science at the University of Maryland at College Park.
The 2017 hurricane season has been one of the most devastating in history, with Harvey, Irma, and Maria wreaking havoc on the U.S. mainland and throughout the Caribbean. Dr. Murtugudde, professor of atmospheric and oceanic science and earth-system science at the University of Maryland at College Park and a former executive director of the Chesapeake Bay Forecast Project, will discuss what we can learn from the latest round of storms and the odds of the Washington DC region being hit hard soon.
