Greetings! My name is Johnathan Kirk. I'm a Master's student in Geography at Kent State University. I'm interested in weather, hazard mapping, GIS, and hydrology. My thesis focuses on riverine flood inundation mapping by creating a river model which generates probabilistic inundation output based on real-time forecasts and observations in a GIS environment. For more on that, check out the Thesis tab. I hope to apply my backgrounds in meteorology and forecasting with GIS in my future endeavors.

 Education:

M.A., Geography, Kent State University; 2013 (expected)

B.S., Atmospheric Science, Minor: Communication, Cornell University; 2011
