Talea L. Mayo

Welcome!  I am a computational scientist with expertise in the development and application of hurricane storm surge models. My research interests lie in addressing interdisciplinary research questions surrounding the intersection of climate change, coastal hazards, humans, and the built environment. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Emory University, and I was awarded the Early-Career Research Fellowship by the National Academies of Sciences Gulf Research Program (NAS GRP) and the Early Career Faculty Innovator Award by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). I presently serve these organizations as a member of the Gulf Environmental Protection and Stewardship Board of the NAS GRP and the Minority Serving Institution External Advisory Panel of NCAR. I also co-Chair the Coastal Working Group of the Community Surface Dynamics Modeling System. I am a fierce advocate of accessible, inclusive science and education of all people.
