Jim Kossin

Jim Kossin is a retired climate scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), specializing in hurricanes and the impacts of climate change on storm intensity and behavior. He has contributed significantly to research demonstrating how climate change is influencing the strength and frequency of hurricanes, including the trend of storms becoming slower and more intense. Kossin's insights highlight the potential dangers posed by extreme weather events, particularly concerning flooding and landslides associated with hurricanes.
