If you're going to the AMS meeting in Houston in a few weeks, we're celebrating Texas A&M's Dept. of Atmospheric Sciences 60th anniversary. You should show up and say HOWDY!

Please nominate a deserving colleague. Many qualified people do not win awards because no one nominates them. Also, for many AGU awards, you can self-nominate.

I taught a new class on climate risk this fall. One of the things I emphasized was the role of insurance in our economy and how climate change is blowing it up.
In the end of semester evaluations, the students really liked learning about insurance.

A I just got an email from AGU. In years past, the awards banquet always sells out months before the meeting. The fact that they’re still trying to sell tickets suggest that a lot of people are not showing up this year.

I just got a pin for working at Texas A&M for 20 years. When I started here, I had no idea I would stay here that long. It’s been a terrific place to work.
