Her thesis is titled, “Improving the Realism of Gravity Waves Generated by Convection in Numerical Models.” Claudia was just offered, and accepted, a Post Doc position at University of Reading (UK).

She will be working with Nicholas Klingaman on "Drivers of Regional East Asian Monsoon Variability" starting 1 Jan 2016

Congratulations, Claudia!

Jonathan was invited to attend the most recent Pattullo Conference as a mentor. The Pattullo Conference is the centerpiece of the program called MPOWIR --Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention, the goal of which is to provide mentorship to female oceanographers who are +/- a year or two from receiving their Ph.D.

It was held October 4-7, 2015 outside of Washington D.C. The conference is named for June Pattullo, the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in physical oceanography in the U.S. It was attended by about two dozen junior scientists, and a dozen senior scientist mentors.

Well done Jonathan!
