@ualbanydaes.bsky.social What a beautiful day for a field trip at Thacher Park for our Geology & Oceanography classes! And we even had someone find part of a trilobite fossil! #geologyrocks #thacherpark

Adirondack Explorer's Zach Matson met us at Black Pond this summer to spend the day w/ a team of #UAlbany researchers who are collecting & analyzing lake mud in the ADKs. Each meter of sediment represents about 1,000 years of lake history. Zach's story ⤵️ www.adirondackexplorer.org/stories/unco...

Introducing our new Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies, and Master's and PhD in Climate Science, degree programs! Learn more at www.albany.edu/news-center/... and www.albany.edu/daes/programs.

Prof. Aubrey Hillman and PhD student Sumar Hart are studying sediment in Adirondacks lakes to better understand past climate and environmental conditions, as well as furthering our understanding of the changing climate. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QD0...

A class of #UAlbany undergrads spent the semester analyzing trends in environmental data & developing machine learning tools that support weather forecasting. Through the AI Plus initiative, UAlbany is developing AI-related courses like this one: www.albany.edu/news-center/...

A fully-funded postdoctoral scientist position is available in the research group of Distinguished Prof. Mathias Vuille. The position is open to scientists with interest & experience in: (1) South American (paleo-)climate, (2) Andean glacier-climate interactions, or 3) regional climate modeling.

Today, students in my @ualbanydaes.bsky.social data viz class present their final projects, which wouldn't be possible without the folks at @unidata.bsky.social. The consequences of this administration's attacks on science and education just keep on hitting closer and closer to home.

2nd Call: @justinminder.bsky.social and I are seeking a postdoc to perform research on the characteristics and predictability of rainfall events over the Catskill mountains that impact the NYC water supply. Application deadline is this Friday 5/9. www.atmos.albany.edu/facstaff/tan...

We are thrilled to announce that Prof. Mathias Vuille has been named a SUNY Distinguished Professor, an honor conferred upon faculty having achieved international prominence & a distinguished reputation within their chosen field through significant contributions to research and scholarship.

The AMS is temporarily opening its career services to all who need them, regardless of membership status, and offering dues waivers and meeting registration fee reductions for those impacted by job loss due to changes in the government. Read more: bit.ly/4gRiHAk

In case you missed it, we are seeking a Visiting Assistant Prof. / Postdoc. Associate in Terrestrial Ice & Water Systems (w/ opportunity to transition to tenure-track) here @ualbanydaes.bsky.social. Review of applications is slated to start next week! albany.interviewexchange.com/jobofferdeta...

We are thrilled to announce Prof. Kristen Corbosiero's promotion to Full Professor, the department's first female faculty member to achieve the rank. Congratulations @profcorbosiero.bsky.social!

Women and girls belong in science, and their inclusion fosters innovation. In 2025, we join the United Nations to celebrate 10 years of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science—a key milestone in advancing gender equality and empowering women globally.

Congratulations to doctoral student Megan Schiede on her 1st place Best Student Paper & Presenter at the 25th Conference of Aviation, Range & Aerospace Meteorology for her work, Using Airborne Measurements to Evaluate Forecasts of Freezing Drizzle Aloft: Results from the WINTRE-MIX Field Campaign!

Our ATM 480 Atmospheric Science Fieldwork class has been launching radiosondes as part of the University Coordinated Radiosonde Project. The data from these sensors will be used for experiments to determine how additional atmospheric measurements can improve winter weather forecasts.

and the history of how university research is what it is: “A key feature of [Vannevar] Bush’s recommendation was that the Federal government should invest heavily in basic and applied research by capitalizing on the infrastructure already present in our universities. That was clearly a success”

“Why do I need NOAA? I’ve got a weather app.” Is equivalent to asking “Why do I need farms? I can go to the supermarket.” www.noaa.gov/about-our-ag...

Congratulations to @ualbanydaes.bsky.social & ASRC doctoral student Fred Oppong for his best poster award at the Climate Variability & Change Conference at the 2025 @ametsoc.org Annual Meeting!

73:1 return on investment #ams2025

Today's Mohawk-Hudson convergence (MHC) snowfall in the Capital Region was a tricky forecast, but the sea-level pressure composite for cold-season MHC (created by UAlbany student Dylan Card) is nearly identical to this morning's SLP / geostrophic NE flow (from @burgwx.bsky.social's polarwx.com).

Congratulations to doctoral student Alex Mitchell for receiving the 1st place poster award at the recent 7th Special Symposium on Tropical Meteorology & Tropical Cyclones at the 2025 @ametsoc.bsky.social Annual Meeting in New Orleans!
