Hurricanes: What's Next? Teach-Out

Hurricanes: What's Next? is part of the University of Michigan's Teach-Out series. For more information, visit Teach-Out.org. The 2017 Atlantic Hurricane season produced several incredibly destructive storms, and raised many questions. In this Teach-Out, we will explore the science of hurricanes, hurricane forecasting and monitoring, and with what confidence can we attribute these storms to a warming ocean.

The Teach-Out will address the following questions:
- What drives a hurricane?
- How accurate are hurricane models?
- How do authorities prepare for hurricanes and, when destructive events like Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria happen, how do we respond?
- Was 2017's hurricane season a fluke, or should we start planning for similar storms to appear more frequently?
