Christopher has given several presentations to members of the Northeast Ohio Chapter of the AMS in June. He discussed
pictures he took on a trip with a few other Ohio University students to Tennessee in Febuary. The pictures were from the students storm survey of destruction in the
tornado outbreak that occured a few days earlier on February 5th, 2008. He made connections to the damage and what was going on
simultaneously in the atmosphere. He also gave a talk on the
Scalia Laboratory's Lightning Detection Equipment
and how you can relate lightning to hail within a thunderstorm. Specifically he talked about the April 29, 2008 hail event in Athens, Ohio.
