Developed models for predicting the distribution of precipitation extremes and severe hail probabilities for Oklahoma using the latest IPCC CMIP5 data as a partner in ClimaChange-Impact! founded by Joshua Putterman (CEO) of JP International Advisor Inc, see http://go.worldbank.org/J8SPNKNYL0. For my research in statistical modelling and extreme weather see http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Thomas_Jagger .

Research position in the Geography department. I develop statistical models for data analysis. I have worked on Bayesian models of ecological data as well as spatial time series models of hurricane activity. I have developed new statistical techniques for uncovering the relationship of future climate scenarios to local tropical storm risk along the US coastline.See my vitae for current research.

I have developed all code used in our analysis of climate activity and in the integration of this analysis into event catalogs.Climatek leverages its expertise in hurricane climate science and statistical modeling to produce software for risk prediction and assessment. Taking advantage of the latest climate science and new statistical tools allows Climatek to develop innovative technologies and add value to existing products.Climatek also works with ClimaChangeImpact! to provide state of the art climate change impact studies. Our recent clients include the city of Boulder for future flood risk, and Berkshire Hathaway Home insurance division for current and future hail risk analysis. Show less
