Profile Detail

Johnathan Kirk

Currently, I am a second year Masters student interested in weather, hazard mapping, GIS, and hydrology. My thesis focuses on riverine flood inundation mapping by creating a river model which generates probabilistic inundation output based on real-time forecasts and observations in a GIS environment.

Education:

M.A., Geography, Kent State University; 2013 (expected)

B.S., Atmospheric Science, Minor: Communication, Cornell University; 2011
