Paquita Zuidema honored for her contributions to atmospheric science research
Ben Kirtman, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences and the William R. Middelthon, III Endowed Chair of Earth Sciences at the Rosenstiel School has been elected a 2023 Fellow of the American Geophysical Union for his fundamental work on tropical climate dynamics and climate prediction on timescales from days to decades.
New study shows potency of the greenhouse gas increases with increased concentrations
Upgrades to a University of Miami observatory that tracks the transport of dust and other aerosols will make all sorts of new measurements possible and could help determine if the high number of pediatric asthma cases on the Caribbean island is connected to harmful elements in the air.
With three new grants, climate scientist Ben Kirtman is hoping to create improved prediction tools for the El Niño climate cycle, as well as floods and wildfires.
Researchers found that Atlantic hurricane activity and Sahel rainfall follow aerosol emissions.
Tropical cyclone expert creates a color display of tidal storm surge from hurricanes that impacted the Rosenstiel School over six decades.
The observatory has been used to document the transport of Saharan dust particles across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean, creating the longest-running dust data set in existence. Scientists from many different disciplines use the data to understand how dust particles impact everything from coral reef health to cloud formation and tropical storms.
