Jonathan D.W. Kahl, Ph.D.
Professor of Atmospheric Science
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee


Dr. Kahl’s work has taken him to Siberia to work with Russian scientists on assessing the extent of Arctic climate change, and more recently to Mexico and Guatemala to study the effects of acid rain on Mesoamerican heritage sites.

He has served as a Research Associate at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Science at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and as a National Research Council Research Associate at the Climate Monitoring and Diagnostics Laboratory at NOAA.

Kahl’s strong interest in children’s education led him to develop an online meteorology curriculum that allows middle- and high-school students to make weather forecasts using internet data. He is also the author of The National Audubon Society First Field Guide to Weather, winner of the Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers Book Award from the American Library Association, as well as the award-winning How’s the Weather? series of weather books for readers in grades four through nine.
