Daniel R. Chavas studies tropical cyclones (hurricanes and typhoons) and other severe storms, focusing on their size, structure, intensity, and how these are changing with climate variability and warming. His work combines climate modeling, theory, and observational data to understand storm genesis, landfall risk, and impacts such as fatalities and extreme weather patterns like tornadoes and severe storm environments.
