Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Thomas O. Spicer's research focuses on atmospheric dispersion modeling and chemical reactivity assessments, particularly for hazardous materials. He has published work examining the Jack Rabbit II and III field experiments, which involved controlled releases of substances like chlorine and ammonia to study their atmospheric behavior. His studies utilize and compare various modeling approaches, including those informed by wind tunnel measurements, laser Doppler velocimetry, and particle image velocimetry. Spicer also investigates the reactivity of chemicals with environmental materials to inform hazard assessments for large-scale release scenarios. His work includes preliminary and continued assessments of chlorine's interactions with materials, accounting for factors like boundary layer effects and deposition. Collaborations include work with Chad Smith and Paulo V.d.F. Lopes at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
