Christopher Nunley

Christopher Nunley serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Geosciences at Mississippi State University, a position he has held since 2015. His academic expertise lies in atmospheric sciences, with a focus on teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in weather, climate, and related disciplines. Prior to his current role, he taught at the University of North Texas as a Teaching Assistant.

Dr. Nunley's educational background is entirely from Mississippi State University:

• Ph.D. in Earth & Atmospheric Sciences (2019)
• M.S. in Geosciences, Concentration in Applied Meteorology (2015)

His research investigates the communication of weather information and public response during high-impact weather events, including risk perception and protective actions. Notably, his work on Hurricane Irma examined the parasocial relationship between the public and local weathercasters. He also studies public understanding of weather phenomena, aiming to enhance communication strategies for disaster preparedness.

Dr. Nunley's recent scholarly output (2020) centers on social aspects of meteorology, particularly risk communication during hurricanes and public weather knowledge. These publications reflect a growing interdisciplinary approach, merging atmospheric science with social psychology to address real-world challenges in weather hazard mitigation.
