Abstract:
As the movie "Twisters" enjoys a whirlwind of success at the box office, two Penn State meteorologists and storm chasers talk about the science in the movie and their own experience in the field.
A short article written by Drs. Yvette Richardson and Paul Markowski for The Conversation discusses what scientific storm chasing is really all about.
Non-Tenure Line faculty augment the extent and range of activities performed by tenure-line faculty. NTL faculty currently make up a significant percentage of the total faculty in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences (EMS). The duties and responsibilities of NTL faculty members fall into four main categories: teaching, research, service, and administration. Each NTL faculty member has his/her own unique duties and responsibilities that are tied to funding sources. Some NTL faculty focus on one specific responsibility area, while others are involved in a mixture of responsibility areas, and these responsibilities may change over time.

It’s a chance for students to see what they’re learning in classrooms and textbooks taking place before their eyes and in the skies.
A group of Penn State researchers, led by Dr. David Stensrud, have been able to learn more about an important layer of the atmosphere by using readily-available data from radars.
David Stensrud, professor of meteorology, has been voted president-elect of the American Meteorological Society and was inducted on, Jan. 28, during the 104th AMS Annual Meeting.
Penn State researchers were recently awarded funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation to develop a new coupled watershed-estuary model that simulates the transport and fate of major salt ions.
Researchers at Penn State are part of a multi-university team selected to receive $6.6 million in recommended funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The group will establish a new multi-university data assimilation consortium to improve weather forecasts using enhanced numerical weather prediction systems.
