Announcements
Christine Wiedinmyer has been promoted to Scientist II. Christine is a member of the Biosphere-Atmosphere Interactions group, and her research focuses on observations and modeling of biosphere emissions and effects on air chemistry and aerosols. Christine shares an appointment between ACD and TIIMES, where she is involved with the BEACHON project. Congratulations, Christine! (July 22)
Congratulations to
Laura Pan and
Dan Marsh, who have
been promoted to Scientist III's. This promotion follows a process of
nomination by ACD, review by the NCAR Appointments Review Group,
and approval by Tim Killeen.
Both Laura and Dan have had exceptional careers at NCAR. (May 14)
