Couldn't ask for a better group of students for ND's NASA Eclipse Ballooning Project team! We had an incredible time with 30 successful balloon launches! & special shout out to Jared Marquis for still being our fearless leader, even though he wasn't able to be there in person.

It’s time for another takeover!! Tomorrow, hear from one of our faculty advisors, Dr. Montana Etten-Bohm, about a day in the life in academia. Get your questions ready and make sure to watch our Instagram stories tomorrow!

Epic views this evening! Can’t wait to check out the timelapse videos! U of North Dakota UNDAerospace

Smoke is causing poor air quality across the region. Our lidars are showing the smoke extending up to ~2km or so above the ground. NWS Grand Forks NDAWN U of North Dakota UNDAerospace

If you insist!

We are excited to welcome Drs. Jake Carstens, Jordan Christian, Jared Marquis, and Daile Zhang to our faculty! They bring expertise in tropical meteorology, drought, climate, remote sensing, data assimilation, and lightning! Jake Carstens @jaredmarquis dlzhang

Great start to the weekend! U of North Dakota UNDAerospace

This week Levi Newell and I traveled around the state as part of collaboration between UND Atmospheric Sciences and NDSU Plant Sciences We visited farms and NDSU Extension field days to better understand crops for climate and weather informed predictive breeding programs as part of FARMS!

Who will I see at #AMS2025? I'll be in New Orleans from Saturday to Wednesday, January 11-15, excited to share my journey to professor life and work I've been up to, both in and out of tropical meteorology. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new connections. ⛈️

See you soon, #AMS2025. Next week I'll share teasers for my 3 presentations, but first... big news dropping Monday. Hint: I'll be looking to have some conversations with students while I'm at the conference. 👀

Dropping this a day earlier than planned because I'm excited... I'M LOOKING FOR A GRAD STUDENT! Consider joining my new and growing group of sickos doing tropical weather/climate research in the Northern Plains. Spread the word, and if you'll be at #AMS2025, let's talk!

I'm looking at bringing in one or two GRAs at Univ. North Dakota for Fall 2025 to work on aerosol analysis, forecasting, remote sensing, and agricultural weather/climate. Due to funder requirements, must be a US Citizen. For more info, send me an email.

We have a variety of talks and posters this week! Come check out the great work our faculty and students are doing!
