Research
Dr. Trepanier specializes in hurricane climatology and the estimation of risk using statistical methods. Currently, she uses this information to estimate risk to cultural heritage institutions, Native American sites, and coastal fisheries. She also assists in environmental science education development through the implementation of weather stations and real-time data to K-12 classrooms in South Louisiana.
