Atmospheric Science researchers participated in the inaugural 2024 AMS Climate Policy Colloquium in DC in December. Attendees of the Climate Policy Colloquium gained insight into the United States policy-making process and the climate policy landscape, explore emerging challenges and opportunities in climate science and policy, and examine the inner workings of government agencies working at the interface of science and policy. An Atmospheric Science alum, Jakob Lindaas, was one of…
