I spent three years at OU, and my first year was spent at the regional branch in Zanesville. During my time at OU I worked at WOUB-TV doing the weather. I did training the spring semester of my junior year and went on-air during the fall semester of my senior year. My plans after graduation are consisting of applying for broadcast meteorology jobs anywhere in the eastern half of the country.

In High School, Jeremy started his own meteorology company called Neoweather, LLC and chose Ohio University to pursue a meteorology degree. After 5 years he received his Bachelor of Science in Meteorology and Bachelor of Business in Corporate Finance. The highlight of his college education were late night study sessions (ahead of calculus and physics exams) with peers and performing the Senator Ernest F. Hollings internship. Today, Jeremy is working for a big data startup in Silicon Valley and spends his weekends hiking.

Lieutenant Colonel John P. Coulter (retired) is the Senior Aerospace Science Instructor for an AFJROTC unit located near Bailey, North Carolina. Lt. Col. Coulter was commissioned through the OTS program at Lackland AFB, 3 July 1985. He graduated from Ohio University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pre-Meteorology in 1983. His career has been a diverse blend of weather service, executive officer, budget, and acquisition jobs. He was the squadron commander of 28 Operational Weather Squadron at Shaw AFB before becoming the Detachment Commander at AFROTC Detachment 650.

Kyle Clem’s fascination with meteorology began as a young child. The power of weather, it’s impact on people, and the challenges in forecasting all excited Kyle. Over time, Kyle’s curiosity in the weather turned into a deep passion to understand it. This led Kyle to Ohio University in 2007 where he pursued his bachelor’s degree in Meteorology. In the summer of 2011, Kyle was hired as an undergraduate research assistant under Dr. Ryan Fogt investigating large-scale atmospheric circulation variability across the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in the high latitude South Pacific and its influence on the climate of Antarctica. Despite having an early fascination in severe weather, Kyle was hooked immediately for two main reasons: the study of climate allowed him to apply his passion of meteorology in a way that improved our understanding of the world’s weather and its past and future changes, and, more specifically, climate variability across the high latitude South Pacific was poorly understood compared to the rest of the globe. As a result, Kyle continued his studies at OU and earned an M.S. in Geography in April 2014. In addition to research, Kyle was very active in the meteorology program throughout his time at OU. During his graduate studies, Kyle served as the Associate Director of the Scalia Laboratory, and was course instructor of Meteorological Observations (GEOG 3030) and Practicum in Meteorology and Forecasting (GEOG 3040). As an undergrad, Kyle served as the president of the OU Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (OUCAMS) during the 2011-2012 academic year, and vice-president during 2010-2011 year. Kyle was also the recipient of the Outstanding Senior Leader Award, the Dean of Students’ Citation, and the David Keirns Public Service Award in Meteorology. Altogether, Kyle spent seven years at OU following his dreams and preparing for a career in meteorology. The exceptional opportunities of teaching and researching that OU’s meteorology program provided allowed Kyle to realize his ultimate career goal: to become a professor of meteorology. In August of 2014, Kyle will be moving to Wellington, New Zealand where he will pursue his PhD at Victoria University under Associate Professor Dr. James Renwick, bringing him one more step closer to achieve his goal of being a professor. Kyle’s primary research interests are still rooted in the atmospheric circulation variability across the South Pacific, particularly its influence on Antarctic climate variability including the ongoing warming, sea ice trends, and ice sheet loss in the West Antarctic/Antarctic Peninsula region. Kyle will be moving to Wellington with his wife, and hopes to return to Ohio in 2017.

Joe is originally from Long Island, NY, and graduated with a BS in Atmospheric Science from the University at Albany in 1996, with minors in Math and Geography. He then came to Ohio University as a graduate student, serving as Scalia Lab’s Associate Director in 1997 and 1998 and graduating with an MA in Geography in 1998. Joe completed a thesis titled “Using Storm Track Climatology to Develop Synoptic Scenarios for the States of the Ohio Valley”.

After graduating from OU, Joe worked for Weather or Not in Shawnee, KS from 1998-1999, and Surface Weather Systems in St. Louis, MO from 1999-2002. In November 2002, Joe became a Meteorological Intern at the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Charleston, SC and was promoted to General Forecaster in June 2003, running the Climate and Aviation programs. He was then promoted to Senior Forecaster at the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Chanhassen, MN in May 2011, where he runs the Aviation program.

Three weeks after graduation I received a job at a news station in Medford, Oregon to be weekend meteorologist and reporter for KTVL-TV. I will be out here for three years and my hope is to be a morning meteorologist at my next station.
