GES Students and Faculty attend AMS in Denver, CO

Students and faculty from Geography and Earth Sciences represented UNC Charlotte at the American Meteorological Society (AMS) Annual Meeting https://annual.ametsoc.org/index.cfm/2023/ in Denver from January 7-12. The conference hosts thousands of attendees with applied and theoretical research related to atmospheric sciences, and includes both a Student Conference and the Full Conference. The STORM club would like to thank SGA, The Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, and Dr. Deb Thomas for making this trip possible.

Professors Davenport and Shirley hosted a recruiting table at the Student Conference and handed out classy looking Department swag!
