SUMMARY:Science in the Mountains: Storm Chasing- It’s Rocket Science!
DESCRIPTION:Reed Timmer\, Ph.D.\, Extreme Meteorologist  \nTornadoes are one of the most destructive natural forces on Earth\, yet there is still much to learn about this dynamic\, hard-to-predict phenomena. Join renowned storm chaser and extreme meteorologist Reed Timmer to learn about the Team Dominator project\, launching miniaturized\, pseudo-Lagrangian sensors into tornadoes. Tornado strength and behavior are determined by gradients in thermodynamics within the tornado\, supercell\, and surrounding environment. Tim’s mission is to measure this data inside of the tornado and parent mesocyclone using parachuted probes launched from the top of Dominator 3. In this presentation\, Tim will share the data collected using the Dominators\, ground-based probes\, and our rocket launches in tornadoes. Never stop chasing.

SUMMARY:Science in the Mountains: Extreme Weather On Social Media
DESCRIPTION:January 16th at 7pm\, 2024: Extreme Weather On Social Media\nRenée Sieber\, Ph.D.\, Associate Professor\, McGill University \nCrisis managers aim to prevent injuries and fatalities during extreme weather events by issuing official alerts across a variety of platforms including social media. Yet few ever study how well these alerts actually aid the public or promote safety. McGill University Associate Professor Renée Sieber will discuss her project\, funded by Environment and Climate Change Canada\, that uses machine learning (Natural Language Processing or NLP) to analyze social media data and determine how best to improve the situational awareness of individuals and officials during damaging extreme weather events in Northern climates.

SUMMARY:Science in the Mountains: The Science of Solar
DESCRIPTION:December 5th at 7pm\, 2023: The Science of Solar \nChris Kelly\, ReVision Energy\, Employee-Owner\, Solar Design Specialist  \nThe Sun may be the primary driver of Earth’s weather and climate\, but it’s also a tremendous source of renewable energy through the science of photovoltaics. Chris Kelly of ReVision Energy will help us understand how photons from the Sun can help power our homes\, businesses\, and cars\, with insights into what environmental variables solar designers take into consideration when evaluating different projects (including the weather!). Join the program if you’re curious about how solar panels work and how electrifying everything can serve as one strategy for combating climate change.
