How do thunderstorms produce tornadoes? In this presentation, Dr. Matthew Parker of NC State’s Department of Marine, Earth, & Atmospheric Sciences will take you inside some of the most powerful storms on Earth via the high-resolution field work, models, and visualizations that researchers at NC State are using to understand how tornadoes are made.

These models must be both accurate and fast to provide reliable information in a timely manner as a storm moves toward the coast. Casey Dietrich, assistant professor in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, will discuss the development of an enhanced storm surge modeling process that incorporates high-resolution datasets and visualization techniques to produce more accurate storm surge…

In the R community, dplyr is the most widely used data manipulation package. dplyr provides a small, consistent set set of "verbs" (functions) that you can use to perform most common operations on R data frames.
