Dennis and Joan Thomson endow a Distinguished Graduate Fellowship in
Meteorology. "Dennis and Joan Thomson, both Penn State faculty
members since 1970, have long been known for their commitment to students."
Full Story from Penn State Live.
Environmental study and atmospheric research in the
Department of Meteorology spans the atmosphere, oceans, and their interplay
with land, plants, and human activity. We study the fundamental properties of
atmospheric and oceanic chemistry and transport; we develop combined modeling
and observing systems for forecasting ozone and other pollutants and for predicting
effects of future climates.
Modeling is done on computers in the department and in the College of Earth
and Mineral Sciences. Observations come from instruments, some designed and
built by us, that are deployed either at local field sites or on towers, aircraft,
and ships at locations all around the world. These individual efforts all
contribute to one overall goal: to develop truly predictive models of Earth
and its habitability.
