Emily Case grew up in Shreve, Ohio where she was terrified of all types of weather unless the sun was shining. Her fear of weather turned into a strong curiosity for it and is the reason why she is currently a third-year meteorology student at Ohio University. Emily is heavily involved in the Ohio University’s Chapter of American Meteorological Society (OUCAMS) and is serving as the secretary for the 2024-2025 school year. This past summer, she participated in the Northeast Partnership for Atmospheric and Related Sciences (NEPARS) Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU). Her research focused on extreme summer heat events during nighttime hours in the Northeast United States. The focus was on the climatological side of extreme heat events rather than the meteorological factors fueling the heat events. At the conclusion of the internship, it is evident that extreme heat events are on the rise. Outside of weather Emily loves hanging out with friends, reading, and drinking coffee.
