Topics include climate change and prediction, greenhouse gas emissions, the impact of natural gas development on watersheds in the Marcellus Shale region, the use of the internet and social media to predict and respond to natural disasters, ice sheets and sea level change, environmental economics, critical zone science and climate risk management.</p> <p>"I have always been interested in science. Also, I like the challenge that science writing poses, of taking a complex topic and making it accessible to all readers," Tutella says. "Here at EESI I have the opportunity to learn more by interviewing the scientists about their groundbreaking research, and I have the pleasure of communicating their important findings to audiences across Pennsylvania, the nation and the world."</p> <p>In his spare time, Tutella likes to hike, kayak and read. He can spend hours in coffee shops and bookstores. He also writes fiction and poetry and dabbles in Italian translation.</p> <p>Prior to joining EESI in spring 2019, Tutella taught academic writing, literature, Italian and English as a second language in northeast Pennsylvania. He also worked as a freelance writer for Wilkes University, where he earned an MFA in creative writing and honed his science writing skills as a graduate assistant in the marketing and communications department.</p> <p> </p> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="col-md-3"> <div class="region region-sidebar-second2"> <div id="block-block-11" class="block block-block"> <h3 class="block-title">Events & Opportunities</h3> <div class="content">  <span style="font-size:2px"> </span> <ul> <li><a href="/seminars-conferences/seminars-conferences-week">This Week</a></li>  <li><a href="/research/research-job-opportunities">Job Opportunities</a></li> <li><a href="/resources/resources-computing-resources">CoreLogic Tax Bulk dataset</a></li> </ul> <hr /> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-14" class="block block-block"> <div class="content"> <p><a href="/sites/www.eesi.psu.edu/files/eesi/resources/pdfs-docs/eesi-newsletter-2022-2023-02-15.pdf" target="_blank"><img alt="EESI Newsletter 2022" class="center-block img-responsive img-rounded" src="/sites/www.eesi.psu.edu/files/eesi/home-images-highlights/eesi-newsletter-2022-2023-02-15.jpg" style="border-style:solid; border-width:2px" /></a></p> <hr /> </div> </div> <div id="block-block-10" class="block block-block"> <h3 class="block-title"> </h3> <div class="content"> <p><iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FEESIPennState&width=262&height=450&show_faces=true&colorscheme=light&stream=true&show_border=true&header=true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:262px; height:450px;"></iframe></p>  </div> </div> <div id="block-block-9" class="block block-block"> <h3 class="block-title"> </h3> <div class="content"> <hr /> <p><iframe frameborder="0" height="283" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLVEuDVfB7mM4tQv9ALFQlIB0AQV2NroAL" width="262"></iframe></p>  <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div>  </div> </div> </section> <footer> <div class="footer" id="footer"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-4 col-xs-12 "> <h3> Quick Links </h3> <div class="content"> <ul class="menu nav"> <li class="leaf first"><a href="https://www.ems.psu.edu/resources-faculty-and-staff">Resources for Faculty & Staff</a> </li> <li class="leaf"><a href="https://www.ems.psu.edu/diversity">Educational Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion</a> </li> <li class="leaf"><a href="https://www.ems.psu.edu/research-faculty/resources/research-administration">Research Administration</a> </li> <li class="leaf"><a href="https://www.ems.psu.edu/resources-faculty-and-staff/safety-and-emergency-information">Safety & Emergency Information</a> </li> <li class="leaf last"><a href="https://virusinfo.psu.edu/">Coronavirus Information</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-4 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 "> <h3> Contact Us </h3> <div class="content"> <address>Earth and Environmental Systems Institute<br />2217 Earth-Engineering Sciences Building<br />University Park, PA 16802-6813<br /><a href="/about/visit-contact-us/">Contact Us</a> / <a href="/about/who-we-are/directory">Find a Person</a></address>  </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-3 col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12 "> <h3> Engage with Us </h3> <ul class="social"> <li><a href="https://www.facebook.com/EESIPennState" target="_blank" rel="me"><img src="/sites/all/themes/custom/ems_college/img/FacebookLogo.png" alt="Facebook Page"/></a></li> <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/PSUEarth" target="_blank" rel="me"><img src="/sites/all/themes/custom/ems_college/img/TwitterLogo.png" alt="Twitter Page"/></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNSTcmWBXU375GOuRVheG2Q" target="_blank" rel="me"><img src="/sites/all/themes/custom/ems_college/img/youTube.fw.png" alt="Youtube Page"/></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eesipennstate/" target="_blank" rel="me"><img src="/sites/all/themes/custom/ems_college/img/Instagram.fw.png" alt="Instagram Page"/></a> </li> </ul> </div> </div>  </div>  </div>  <div class="footer-bottom"> <div class="container"> <p class="pull-left"><ul class="list-inline"> <li>漏 Penn State College of Earth and Mineral Sciences</li> <li><a href="https://www.psu.edu/web-privacy-statement/">Privacy</a></li> <li><a href="https://policy.psu.edu/policies/ad85">Non-discrimination</a></li> <li><a href="https://policy.psu.edu/policies/hr11">Equal Opportunity</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.psu.edu/accessibilitystatement/index.html">Accessibility</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.psu.edu/copyright-information/">Copyright</a></li> <li><a href="/login">Login</a></li> </ul></p> </div> </div>  </footer> <script src="https://www.eesi.psu.edu/sites/www.eesi.psu.edu/files/js/js_MRdvkC2u4oGsp5wVxBG1pGV5NrCPW3mssHxIn6G9tGE.js"></script> </body> </html>
