Description:

As the impact of climate change and extreme weather is felt across the globe, there has never been a more important time to train atmospheric and environmental scientists who can address these challenges. From better understanding and prediction of extreme weather events to advanced climate studies and climate impacts, UAlbany’s Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences (DAES) offers some of the most sophisticated academic programs in atmospheric and environmental sciences in the U.S.The current group of scientists in DAES covers a broad range of interests in the atmospheric and environmental sciences. With their broad portfolio of research interests, the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental sciences faculty offer students opportunities to work with world-class researchers on projects inspired by some of the most pressing questions and challenges facing humankind.The Department’s main areas of research and study include synoptic-dynamic meteorology, severe weather, climate variability and change (including past, present and future), hydrometeorology, theoretical meteorology (spanning planetary through convective scales), and tropical meteorology including hurricanes and monsoons.Whether it is studying the structure of hurricanes, measuring the effectiveness of extreme weather prediction models, or exploring the impacts of climate variability and change this research has a far-reaching impact on industry, public policy, and the breadth of understanding of the world around us. Aiguo Dai Among World’s Most Highly Cited Researchers December 3, 2020A new report has once again listed Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences Professor Aiguo Dai among the world’s most-cited researchers.   Study: Decreasing Wildfires Observed Over Central Africa September 24, 2020A new DAES observational study has revealed a decreasing burned area trend that could impact African ecosystems. Atmospheric Scientist Honored by the American Meteorological Society August 11, 2020Junhong (June) Wang will soon be recognized within a group of elite atmospheric scientists. Wang, a research associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences and quality control manager for the University’s New York State Mesonet, was named a 2020 Fellow of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) in late July. She is the seventh UAlbany-affiliated researcher (and first female) to be honored.  DAES/ASRC Statement of Solidarity and Commitment to Equity June 15, 2020Dear DAES and ASRC community,The terrible events over the past weeks, and the racial injustices that have long preceded, have caused tremendous heartache and frustration for countless people. We in the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Science (DAES) and Atmospheric Science Research Center (ASRC) hear those suffering and calling for action, and stand in solidarity with the Black community. These events demand all of us to expand our knowledge of racial injustice, evaluate our own biases and privileges, and take actions for meaningful change.  DAES Senior Shares Her Story of Resiliency Following Hurricane Maria May 12, 2020Nearly 2,000 miles away from campus, Kayleen Torres Maldonado virtually shared two semester’s worth of findings on Hurricane Igor from her bedroom earlier this month.Presenting her thesis via video conference call in the midst of a global pandemic was not what she envisioned, but the Department of Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences (DAES) senior is used to unexpected challenges.
