From journalists covering #SevereWeather events to investment bankers assessing climate risk, it's essential to have a climate-literate workforce that extends beyond scientific disciplines. That's the goal of the #ClimateChange fluency minor in our Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Science ⤵️

Join us on December 10 at 4:30 pm for our last seminar of the semester, "How We Measure The Weather: A Brief History And Where We're Going Next" by Dr. James Hyde of the Maryland Mesonet. RSVP here: go.umd.edu/24wi. We hope to see you there!

Join us on November 12, at 4:30 PM in room 2204 in the Edward St. John Teaching and Learning Center. Dr. Karen Prestegaard will give a talk about changes in precipitation timing and their links to flash floods and droughts. We hope to see you there!

@umdgeology.bsky.social's Karen Prestegaard studies the links between precipitation, stream baseflow, stormwater runoff and evapotranspiration in the mid-Atlantic region. Ask Karen your questions about freshwater and stormwater flooding in today's Reddit Ask-Me-Anything: redd.it/1ntaqz0

How do satellites support #Maryland's economy?

Happy #LatinxHeritageMonth! To celebrate, we'll be showcasing Latinx earth and environmental scientists every week of the month. Our first scientist is Julia Carabias Lillo, a Mexican ecologist, professor, and public servant.

Dr. Sujay Kaushal, a professor and researcher in the Department of Geology at UMD, was featured in the article "Why salt is threatening America's rivers and drinking water," published in the Washington Post on 6/4/25.
