OCEANOGRAPHY PROFESSOR QUOTED IN NEW YORK TIMES AND WALL STREET JOURNAL

Robert E. Tuleya, adjunct professor at Old Dominion University's Center for Coastal Physical Oceanography, is quoted in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal about the path of powerful Hurricane Ivan.

Tuleya, a meteorologist and hurricane modeler, discusses both the improvements in hurricane forecasting over the past several years and the physics of the hurricane's strength. Prior to joining Old Dominion, he worked with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Hurricane Ivan, currently a Category 5 storm, is headed toward the United State's Gulf Coast.
