Clark Evans is a Research Physical Scientist and Model Physics Branch Chief in the Earth Prediction Advancement Division of the Global Systems Laboratory. He joined GSL in 2024 after thirteen years at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he was a Professor and Chair of the Atmospheric Science Program. He completed his postdoctoral studies with the Advanced Study Program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research between 2009-11. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in Meteorology from Florida State University in 2004, 2006, and 2009, respectively. His research uses numerical models to better understand and predict high-impact weather phenomena, particularly tropical cyclones and severe thunderstorms. He currently serves as the Incoming Commissioner for the American Meteorological Society’s Scientific and Technological Activities Commission, an Editor for Monthly Weather Review, and a member of the Developmental Testbed Center’s Science Advisory Board. 

On a personal level, he is interested in his faith, running, cycling, sports, hiking, photography, cartography, historical accounts, and traveling. Far too many of his conversations revolve around the weather, even when he’s actively trying to keep it from happening. You’ll find him gleeful about the first warm days of spring and counting down the days to the return of daylight-saving time in winter.
