The National Weather Service has issued a cold weather advisory until noon Saturday for wind chills as low as nine below zero. As cold weather persists, the University wants to remind our community about tips for protecting yourself, your residences and your property, plus dealing with winter weather. These will be posted on UD's emergency preparedness and response page, along with updates on weather alerts, event cancellations and building closures.

Profile

Dr. Mason Bradbury is Assistant Professor of Sustainability at the Hanley Sustainability Institute.

Prior to beginning at the University of Dayton, he earned his Ph.D. from Florida International University, where he researched the social context of urban ecological restoration projects. Mason also spent several years working in environmental conservation and sustainable agriculture, including stints with AmeriCorps VISTA and the U.S. Peace Corps in Paraguay.
