UW researcher contributes to study linking warmer seas to stronger hurricanes

A University of Wisconsin-Madison researcher contributed to a new study that bolsters the theory that global warming might be contributing to stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean over the last 30 years.

The study, published Thursday in the journal Nature, was led by Florida State University geography researcher James Elsner, with UW-Madison research scientist James Kossin and FSU researcher Thomas Jagger contributing.
