Catherine Stauffer
Catherine completed her Ph.D. in 2023.
She completed my Bachelor of Science in Meteorology from Florida State University in 2018. During her undergraduate studies Catherine was employed as a Meteorological Analyst at Risk Management Solutions (RMS) where she created real-time and historical observation-based analyses of tropical cyclone wind fields. Her work at RMS contributed to her induction into FSU's Garnet and Gold Scholar Society. In Spring 2018 Catherine defended an undergraduate Honors Thesis, advised by Dr. Mark Bourassa, with FSU's Center for Ocean-Atmospheric Prediction Studies (COAPS). Her undergrad Honors thesis explored air-sea coupling dependency on sea surface temperature fronts using research vessel data.
Catherine has lived in several states, Florida since 2010. In her spare time she is often reading a book or exploring the outdoors. Catherine is a member of the Highpointers Club and Georgia's Canyon Climbers Club.
Ph.D. Dissertation: Cloud Feedbacks and Convective Self-Aggregation in the Radiative-Convective Equilibrium Model Intercomparison Project
Current Position: Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill University
