Session 2F Session 2: RQ Panels → So You Want to Study/Work on Weather and Engineering

Saturday, 27 January 2024: 10:20 AM-11:30 AM
344 (The Baltimore Convention Center)
Host: 23rd Annual Student Conference

From mobile mesonets to climate-resilient construction, collaboration between Engineers and Atmospheric Scientists is crucial to researchers, forecasters, policy-makers and the future of our planet. This session will provide an overview of how Engineering intersects and complements the fields of weather, water and climate-sciences, followed by three ‘lightning talks’ from expert engineers working in these applications. There will be an opportunity for Q&As with the panelists at the end.
