Atmospheric Sciences
Rosenstiel School professor recognized by the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida
Cassandra Gaston, an associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, was recognized by the Academy of Science, Engineering and Medicine of Florida as a Rising Star in Science for her research in climate, air quality, and biogeochemical impacts of African dust on the Caribbean and the Americas.
Evaluating the flow of information for high-impact weather events
For the past three years, undergraduate students in the Rosenstiel School have investigated how information on devastating landfalling hurricanes is created, shared, and used within a complete warning system.
