This story also appeared in The Conversation U.S. forecasters are expecting an above-normal 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, with 13 to 19 named storms, and 6 to 10 of those becoming hurricanes. Every year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other forecasters release preseason outlooks for the Atlantic’s hurricane season, which runs June 1 through […]

Colin Zarzycki, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Meteorology and Climate Dynamics at Penn State. His research is, broadly, centered around simulating extreme atmospheric phenomena and bridging the gap between weather and climate. In particular, he is focused on cutting-edge, high-resolution modeling techniques. This allows for multiple research directions, including regional weather and climate prediction on timescales ranging from days to decades, the development of dynamical cores and sub-grid physical parameterizations, and software engineering on petascale computing systems. He has also used these techniques to investigate tropical cyclone dynamics in global climate models and to improve the community's capability to objectively detect weather extremes in "big (climate) data."
