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...

"It's not a question of if we pay for these events, it's how & how much. We can pay by paying for quality employees, investing in infrastructure, paying for disaster resources, or we can pay in disruption & loss of life." - Samantha Penta, @ualbanycehc.bsky.social www.livenowfox.com/news/hurrica...

Suitcases, cars, and crowds of families rolled into UAlbany for freshman move-in day on Tuesday

#UAlbany students have spent the summer planting trees along South Pearl Street to improve Albany’s environmental health & strengthen urban resilience to extreme weather. @timesunion.com story: www.timesunion.com/education/ar...

We celebrated #UAlbany New Tork State Mesonet's’s 10th Birthday today! 🥳 From one site in Aug. 2015, the Mesonet has grown into the largest & most advanced weather observation network in the U.S. Mesonet data updates every 5 minutes, helping protect New Yorkers during severe weather.

It has been nearly three weeks since the devastating Texas floods. Meteorologist Alyssa Caroprese looked into the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and how UAlbany researchers are making it easier to get alerts to the public.

ICYMI: Albany was recently ranked fourth in LinkedIn's inaugural “Cities on the Rise 2025," a review of the 25 fastest-growing U.S. metro cities for jobs and new talent. The report highlights #UAlbany's $1 billion economic impact on the local economy. www.albany.edu/news-center/...

While most pilots try to avoid flying into severe weather, NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters fly directly into the storm to collect atmospheric data. A #UAlbany study found these missions significantly increase hurricane forecast accuracy. @foxweather.bsky.social story: www.foxweather.com/watch/fmc-z0...

Emergency managers across the U.S. have a new tool that helps write effective alert messages, thanks to researchers at @ualbanycehc.bsky.social & @ctgualbany.bsky.social. #UAlbany researchers developed a dashboard for FEMA that supports public safety communicators. www.albany.edu/news-center/...

NOW: @Governor.ny.gov is at ETEC to update New Yorkers on the state’s readiness for increasingly frequent and extreme weather. In 2023, @nyswrcc.bsky.social opened at #UAlbany. The Center develops tools that help emergency managers better prepare for and respond to severe weather events.

#UAlbany's State Weather Risk Communication Center was launched in 2023 to provide rapid & real-time weather info to local emergency managers when disaster strikes. @nyswrcc.bsky.social Director Nick Bassill shares his thoughts with @nypost.com on the tragedy in Texas: nypost.com/2025/07/07/u...

A rural area on the Vermont border felt hotter than anywhere else in New York earlier this week, including New York City. #UAlbany @NYSMesonet.org‬ Director June Wang explains to @washingtonpost.com how an unusually rainy spring might have been a factor. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2025...

Tired of the rain? You have to go back to November 16-17, 2024, to find a weekend that was completely dry in Albany, Syracuse & Saranac Lake. Allison Finch of #UAlbany's @nyswrcc.bsky.social will be on the @todayshow.com during the 7 a.m. hour tomorrow to talk about New York's rainy weekends!

One of the best parts of my job at #UAlbany is telling the stories of our researchers! We tagged along today w/ a prof. & grad student at @ualbanydaes.bsky.social who are collecting lake sediments (mud) in the Adirondacks that offer a climate history of the region stretching back centuries.

We're ready for you, Class of 2025! 🎉🎓 Don’t forget to use #UAlbanyGrad in your social media posts for a chance to be featured on our pages and around campus!

Before Jared Verse was terrorizing NFL quarterbacks, or racking up All-American selections at Florida State, he was a staple of the UAlbany defense.

#UAlbany hosted its 3rd annual Showcase last week, a day-long event that brought together the entire University community to highlight academic excellence. The event featured 1,300+ student presentations supported by 415 faculty advisors. Our recap: www.albany.edu/news-center/...

A new study led by @UAlbany grad researcher Sky Hooler has found Adirondack waters made a 90% recovery from metal pollution since the enactment of the Clean Air Act. Using lake sediments, she measured concentrations of metals across thousands of years! www.albany.edu/news-center/...

“A lot of people don't realize how @NOAA.gov impacts their daily lives... It's a huge public service that is truly a bargain for the American taxpayer." - Brian Tang, @ualbanydaes.bsky.social spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...

#UAlbany wants to ensure graduates are prepared for a world radically changing by technology. Inside @UAlbanyCEHC.bsky.social's #AI in Complex Systems Lab, students are using emerging tech to find new solutions to common problems. www.wamc.org/news/2025-02...

In 2024, we proudly celebrated our 180th anniversary, a year filled with significant milestones, progress toward our strategic priorities, and celebrations of our community! Look back at our 2024 in Review: www.albany.edu/year-in-revi....
