CCR graduate student Erin Thomas defends her PhD study
March 26, 2018

Erin Thomas recently defended her PhD study. Her research focuses on understanding the complex interactions between El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and numerous oceanic and atmospheric phenomena. These phenomena complicate our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for generating ENSO diversity and make it very difficult to predict ENSO events. Her research utilizes statistical and physical modeling to identify both observationally-grounded and physically meaningful mechanisms that influence the development of ENSO events.

Professor Tristan L’Ecuyer was selected as a 2018 Romnes Fellow
February 7, 2018

Professor Tristan L’Ecuyer was selected by the Office for the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education as a 2018 Romnes Fellow.  The fellowship is named in honor of Haakon Ingolf (H.I.) Romnes, late Trustee and President of the WARF Board. A lifelong friend of the University, his entire career was characterized by integrity, self-discipline and the ability to accomplish monumental tasks while preserving the full support and admiration of all who came to know him. With this fellowship, the University recognizes Tristan’s academic success and provides an opportunity for continued development of an outstanding research program.

New NASA Space Sensors to Address Key Earth Science Questions
February 5, 2018 | NASA

NASA announced two new investigations to better understand the energy balance of the Arctic, which contributes to Arctic warming, sea ice loss, and ice-sheet melting. These two were chosen from 14 projects and one of them, called PREFIRE, is led by L'Ecuyer. "UW–Madison is the science lead on a NASA mission that will use Cubesat technology to measure, for the first time, fluctuations in Arctic radiant energy. The Arctic, known as Earth’s thermostat, regulates climate by venting excess energy received in the tropics," L'Ecuyer says.
