Congratulations to Assistant Professor Kyle Armour for winning a 2020 Sloan Research Fellowship. Sloan fellowships are awarded for distinguished research accomplishments and a unique potential to make substantial contributions to the awardee’s field. 

Congratulations to Yue Dong for receiving an Outstanding Student Presentation Award (OSPA) at the AGU 2019 Fall Meeting! This prestigious award is granted to the top 5% of student participants.
What is OSPA? 

The University of Washington has long boasted one of the country’s top programs in atmospheric sciences. Now, the UW is also teaching undergraduates how to share that knowledge online and on TV as a broadcast meteorologist. 

We are pleased to share 2019’s Annual Newsletter highlighting the many innovations and accomplishments of our faculty and students.

Three UW graduate students received this year’s prestigious NASA graduate fellowship, called the Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology program. Two of the three students are from the College of the Environment: Benjamin Barr (atmospheric sciences) and Lauren Satterfield (environmental and forest sciences). 

This scholarship is for two school years starting in the fall 2019 and fall 2020. She will also participate in two 10 week internships, one during summer 2020 and another in 2021 at NCAR – Boulder.
