Howdy, I’m Cameron. I’m a research scientist, storm chaser, and photographer.I work closely with the National Weather Service and Storm Prediction Center to better understand and forecast supercells, their hazards(tornadoes, hail, and wind, and their many behaviors. I’m also a proud member of the storm chasing community, and an advocate for strengthening ties between chasers, researchers, and forecasters. I regularly provide educational material to NWS, SPC, and the chaser community, with the goal of communicating and implementing new research.Portrait courtesy Will Wight
