Dr. Shawn Milrad

My main research interests are in:

• Humid heat and associated compound hazards

• extreme weather in the context of climate change

• synoptic-dynamic meteorology

In the past, I have also published research on:

• extratropical transition of tropical cyclones

• convective environments associated with sea-breeze convection in Florida

• convective environments associated with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes

• extreme precipitation events

• ice storms

My current primary research activity focuses on investigating trends, mechanisms, and compound hazards associated with humid heat, primarily as it applies to the Southeast U.S.
