AOSC Distinguished University Professor Eugenia Kalnay was awarded the 2019 Roger Revelle Medal at AGU’s Fall Meeting 2019 Honors Ceremony, held on Dec. 11, 2019 in San Francisco, Calif. The medal is for “outstanding contributions in atmospheric sciences, atmosphere-ocean coupling, atmosphere-land coupling, biogeochemical cycles, climate or related aspects of the Earth system.”

TV’s Somara Theodore teaches AOSC's first broadcast meteorology class. Students led the effort to create this course. A couple of years ago, Monique Robinson '18 created UMD Weather Talks, a student organization of broadcast meteorologist hopefuls that posts reports on YouTube, and contacted Theodore to get advice. Last spring, they asked her about teaching at Maryland. By the fall semester, the course was a reality.
