ESSIC scientist Ross Salawitch was recently interviewed in “Envirocast”, a weekly environmental podcast hosted by Dylan Westheimer, a 14-year-old based in California. In the podcast, Salawitch is interviewed on the Paris Climate Accord, the international agreement meant to limit global warming, in anticipation of President-Elect Joe Biden’s promise to rejoin this agreement.
ESSIC Visiting Assistant Research Scientist Huan Wu is first author on a new paper in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences titled “From China’s Heavy Precipitation in 2020 to a “Glocal” Hydrometeorological Solution for Flood Risk Prediction”.
ESSIC Visiting Associate Research Professor Ariana Sutton-Grier recently gave a lecture for the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science seminar series on how science can better inform climate mitigation and adaptation as well as ecosystem restoration and protection.
As a now traditional part of the ESSIC end-of-year Holiday Party, two annual peer awards were presented to honor the year’s Best Paper and the Employee of the Year. This year, Director Ellen Williams presented these awards to Toshi Matsui, Associate Research Scientist, as well as Donna Gray, Coordinator, and Luther Clark, IT Coordinator.
