Utah Public Radio Interviews Houser on How Tornadoes Form

Dr. Jana Houser with University of Oklahoma’s Rapid-scan, X-band, polarimetric mobile radar (RaXPol).

Utah Public Radio interviewed Dr. Jana Houser, Assistant Professor of Geography at Ohio University, for a piece headlined “UnDisciplined: The Atmospheric Scientist And The Environmental Economist.”

This week on UnDisciplined, we’re talking about climate, but at two very different scales.

First, we’ll talk to Jana Houser, a researcher who has suggested that tornadoes form in a different way than scientists have long believed. Next, we’re joined by Nick Obradovich, a scientist who has connected global warming to the ability of public servants to do their jobs.

Listen to the interview.
