Abstract
This past summer, I had the incredible opportunity to participate in a 10-week research experience at the National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma. As part of the program, I was assigned a research topic assessing how wildfire risk has evolved over the past 40 years, with particular attention to meteorological factors influencing fire potential and severity. This experience allowed me to engage with leading atmospheric scientists, collaborate with peers from across the country, and immerse myself in the unique culture of Oklahoma’s storm-chasing community.
