Julie Demuth

Julie Demuth works at the National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) where she is both a Project Scientist in the Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Lab and the Lead of the NCAR Convergence Science Program. Demuth has an interdisciplinary background in both physical and social science, with a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in atmospheric science and a PhD in communication with a focus on risk. She conducts research on hazardous weather risk communication, risk perception, and decision-making, including how these intersect with predictability and prediction capabilities. Her love for weather and its effects on people stems from when seven tornadoes hit Grand Island, Nebraska, on June 3, 1980, where her family lived at the time.
