AMS/NWA Chapter Meeting Tuesday February 21st, 2023 at Council of Governments - Sebastian Harkema - A New Era of Thundersnow Research

[David McAnally]

Please set a reminder for Tuesday February 21st at 7PM to join our monthly chapter meeting.

Our speaker will be Sebastian Harkema. Sebastian graduated from Central Michigan University in 2017 before attending the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) for his Master’s and PhD. He is currently a PhD candidate at UAH working closely with the NASA Short-term Prediction Research and Transition (SPoRT) center at Marshall Space Flight Center and plans to defend his dissertation this summer. His PhD is funded through the NASA Future Investigators in NASA Earth and Space Science and Technology (FINESST) program and focuses on using NASA numerical prediction model output, NASA/NOAA satellite imagery, lightning data, as well as data collected from the NASA Investigation and Precipitation for Atlantic-Coast Threatening Snowstorms (IMPACTS) field campaign to better understand the microphysical and environmental processes that lead to electrification – and potentially lightning – within snowfall. Sebastian's talk is titled "A New Era of Thundersnow Research".

Where: Council of Governments (main offices), Centerpoint II, 616 Six Flags Drive, Arlington, TX 76011, and via Zoom

The meeting will be on the first floor in the “Six Flags Conference Room”.  There is a map up on the lobby screen as they enter. For reference, the room is in the front left corner of our offices (in Blue below).  The red boxes are the entrance to the building.
