Clinton Rowe’s main research area is in physical meteorology and climatology, specifically the fluxes of energy and mass between the surface and the atmospheric boundary layer. He has been involved in several research projects about land surface-atmosphere interactions in the Nebraska Sand Hills and modeling the climate of Pangea during the Jurassic. He teaches courses in physical meteorology and boundary-layer meteorology, climate change and other topics in meteorology and climatology. In addition, Dr. Rowe is Chair of the Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences.

Dr. Adam Houston is a Professor of Atmospheric Science in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences.  He is a cloud-scale and mesoscale dynamicist whose research is both empirical and theoretical and aims to advance understanding of severe thunderstorms and associated phenomena.  His observational research relies heavily on unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS) which he and his research group use to answer fundamental questions as well as applied problems that connect research to operational meteorology.
