ASR Highlights from 93rd Annual American Meteorological Society Meeting
Each year, scientists, professors, and students from around the world attend the annual AMS gathering to collaborate and catch up on the latest advances in weather, climate science, and technology. In addition to providing a collaborative research forum, the society also conducts networking events for early career scientists. As reflected by students comprising 20 percent of AMS membership this year, the society actively supports the next generation of scientists, notably through fellowships and scholarships. These are made possible through funding support from the society, industry, and government entities, including ASR.
Graduate Fellowship Awarded to Jennifer Gahtan
Gahtan received her undergraduate degree from the University of Miami and completed an internship for the Center for Multiscale Modeling of Atmospheric Process, or CMMAP. With the fellowship award, she chose to continue her research at the University at Albany-SUNY, to understand the propagation of atmospheric waves associated with the Madden Julian Oscillation, one of the leading causes of rainfall variation over the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
