…we had it all this weekend!

The REU took the cohort on field trips to witness the volcanology and geology of the island, as well as visiting a nearby taro patch and learning how to make leis. He hopes to use this research experience and apply it to the rest of his academic experience at Lyndon and in his future endeavors.

He is very happy to have learned valuable skills and lessons from a whole new team of grad students and faculty. Outside of research, it was incredible to experience the Hawaiian culture and landscape that O’ahu has to offer.

Looking at rainfall and soil moisture, they researched how soil moisture anomalies at different depths and areas on the island affected flash flooding during heavy rainfall events.

delving into the precipitation data from the New York State mesonet. Cameron worked on creating a preliminary analysis of heavy precipitation across the state. She thoroughly enjoyed getting to hone her python coding skills and learning about the day-to-day-

Through the course, Charlie gained valuable experience and built connections through experiential learning.

The field experience helped Charlie visualize his forecasting, seeing results in front of him instead of on a screen. Following the field experience, he was able to utilize data gathered by students to create a case study of the storms the class tracked.

Charlie and fellow students practiced launching radiosondes, navigating through the country, and developing forecasting techniques in order to predict and track supercells throughout the region.

We’re thrilled to see Roberto representing VTSU Lyndon, and we look forward to seeing where his passion for weather and water take him next!

COOP and ASOS station data. This was an invaluable experience in working with modern high-quality regional weather data that will be of operational value in NWS Burlington’s County Warning Area (CWA), which covers a portion of Northern New York, as well as in neighboring CWAs covering the rest-

Under the guidance of NWS Burlington science and operations officer (SOO) Pete Banacos and other NWS staff, and in collaboration with classmate Cameron Starkey, Roberto worked on a preliminary New York State Mesonet precipitation climatology, focused especially on comparisons with longer-running NWS

Through the REU, Morgan gained valuable academic and professional experience while collaborating with peers and mentors from many different scientific backgrounds.
