Members of GSAAS and HUPAS have been highly engaged in helping the community and building professional development this month.
On March 8, members volunteered as judges for a science fair held at the Cleveland Elementary School (DCPS-ES).
Members participated at the DC Stem Fair at Wilson High School on March 24. They demonstrated experiments such as cloud in a bottle to students.
More recent, members traveled to Tallahassee, Florida for the 6th NOAA EPP Science and Education forum. The event was held at Florida A & M University (FAMU). Members presented their research in both the oral and poster categories. Some members also received awards for their research. UMD Ph.D candidate and NOAA-CAS fellow Serenella Linares, won first place for her research: "Fungal Diversity Associated with Saharan Dust Storms", which was presented in the Climate and Mitigation session. GSAAS President Mayra Oyola won an honorable mention (2nd place) in the same category. Her presentation title was the "Analysis of the Interhemispheric Tropospheric Vertical Distribution of Ozone over the Atlantic Ocean: Assessing the “Ozone Paradox” during the 2011 Aerosols and Ocean Science Expedition". GSAAS member Shayda Sanders received an honorable mention in the Weather Ready Nation oral presentation category for her research "Relationships Between Demographics and Protective Actions during Severe Weather Outbreaks: 2011 Super Outbreak, Tuscaloosa, AL." GSAAS member Monique Walker won an honorable mention in the poster presentations, for her presentation of “Semi-Automated Alignment for Optimum LIDAR Performance”. The full list of winners can be found here. The winner's gallery is here.
NCAS also presented a video of some of the members of NCAS, their research projects and a few activities that occur within the program.
