Please congratulate Laurie for being recognized for the outstanding resource that she contributes to our student community. See the article at this link.

Professor Karen McKinnon was recently awarded an NSF grant through the Climate and Large-Scale Dynamics program. The grant, titled “The factors governing daily near-surface air temperature variability over land”, is focused on using both statistical and dynamical models to better identify the dominant causal mechanisms underlying regional temperature variability and high-impact extreme events.
