Jhordanne Jones
Research Scientist, University of the West Indies Mona
I am currently a research scientist at my alma mater, the University of the West Indies in Kingston, Jamaica. My expertise centers on improving our understanding of how climate variability and change influence tropical cyclone activity and prediction through global climate models. I received my Masters from the University of the West Indies, Mona in Jamaica and my PhD in Atmospheric Sciences from Colorado State University. I also held postdoctoral appointments at Purdue University and UCAR.
