Session 2B Session 2: RQ Panels → So You Want to Study/Work on Hydrometeorology

Saturday, 27 January 2024: 10:20 AM-11:30 AM
345/346 (The Baltimore Convention Center)
Host: 23rd Annual Student Conference
Chair:
Vanessa Dunham, University of Oklahoma, Institute for Public Policy Research and Analysis

From the water cycle to tropical cyclones, hydrometeorology is a vital scientific field that combines meteorological and hydrological principles to study the Earth's water cycle, providing valuable insights for weather forecasting, water resource management, climate studies, and environmental protection. This session will include an overview of hydrometeorology, along with lightning talks from experts in the field. A Q&A session will follow for the opportunity for students to ask the panelists questions.
