Climatology and Trends of Tornado-Favorable Atmospheric Ingredients in the United States
Annals of the American Association of Geographers, 2021 Tornadoes cause numerous fatalities and injuries each year in the United States. Understanding the geographic distribution of tornado risk and how it changes over time is critical to our ability to communicate risk and heighten public awareness and preparation all part of our attempt to reduce the number of tornado-related fatalities and injuries ...

Neutrino cross sections at high energies and the future observations of ultrahigh-energy cosmic rays
, 2002 We show that future detectors of ultrahigh-energy cosmic-ray neutrinos will be able to measure neutrino-nucleon cross section at energies as high as 10^{11}GeV or higher. We find that the flux of up-going charged leptons per unit surface area produced by
