OverviewAI-generated summary

Thomas O. Spicer's research centers on atmospheric dispersion modeling and the assessment of hazardous chemical releases. His work has involved extensive field experiments, such as the Jack Rabbit II (JR II) project, which aims to improve understanding of how toxic industrial chemicals spread in the environment. Spicer has published on the methods and findings of these experiments, including comparisons of dispersion models and measurements of wind tunnel conditions simulating chlorine releases. His research also investigates the reactivity of chlorine with various environmental materials, considering factors like boundary layer effects and deposition, which are crucial for hazard assessment during large-scale releases. He has also contributed to identifying and addressing gaps in existing toxic industrial chemical model systems over the past decade. Spicer holds a h-index of 10 with 356 citations across his 38 publications. He collaborates with Chad Smith at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom he shares two publications.
