Catherine Stauffer
I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student and am eagerly looking forward to continuing my journey with Dr. Wing's group.
I completed my Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from Florida State University in 2018. During my undergraduate studies I was employed as a Meteorological Analyst at Risk Management Solutions (RMS) where I created real-time and historical observation-based analyses of tropical cyclone wind fields. My work at RMS contributed to my induction into FSU's Garnet and Gold Scholar Society. In Spring 2018 I defended an undergraduate Honors Thesis, advised by Dr. Mark Bourassa, with FSU's Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS). My thesis explored air-sea coupling dependency on sea surface temperature fronts using research vessel data.
I have lived in several states, Florida since 2010. In my spare time I am often reading a book or exploring the outdoors. I am a member of the Highpointers Club and Georgia's Canyon Climbers Club.
