What
he does
Steven studies storms and their hazards.
How
he got into science
Steven started investigating avalanches so he could spend time in
the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Witnessing the way storms
increased the threat of an avalanche, he began to watch the storms.
Favorite
accomplishments
Steven identified a unique kind of storm that forms in the Arctic.
It looks very much like a hurricane on satellite photos. The work,
he says, was like finding and describing a new butterfly.
In
his free time
Steven still likes to hike in the mountains. He also likes to play
guitar and piano, and surf and play tennis with his two boys.
