Adam Houston is aprofessor 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.
