In January, Dr. Corene Matyas was recognized for her work on hurricanes at the Women in the Tropics special session at the annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society. Dr. Joanne Simpson is at the upper center of the image – the first woman in the U.S. to receive a PhD in meteorology (1949) who […]
Dr. Corene Matyas met with current and former UF graduate and undergraduate students at the 2018 American Meteorological Society Hurricanes conference. All have received either the Undergraduate Certificate in Meteorology and Climatology, or Graduate Certificate In Applied Atmospheric Science.
University of Florida senior and undergraduate research assistant Alex DesRosiers worked a research based summer internship with NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters. The internship was based out of MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa where he worked under meteorologist and flight director Ian Sears. Alex’s internship was funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Dr. Corene Matyas […]
