Congratulations to Melissa Burt and Graeme Stephens on AMS Honors

Associate Professor Melissa Burt has been named a Fellow of the American Meteorological Society. Election to Fellow of the AMS recognizes outstanding contributions to advance the atmospheric and related sciences, technologies, applications, and services to the benefit of society. This is an incredible and well-deserved honor to Melissa, and our department is extremely proud.

We also received the exciting news that Distinguished Professor Emeritus Graeme Stephens received the Carl-Gustav Rossby Research Medal from AMS. As described on the AMS site, this award is presented to individuals on the basis of outstanding contributions to the understanding of the structure or behavior of the atmosphere and represents the highest award the Society can bestow upon an atmospheric scientist. Graeme was recognized for “for breakthroughs in understanding how radiation, clouds, and precipitation shape climate system feedbacks by driving the design of innovative Earth observation platforms and their applications.” We also couldn’t be prouder of your accomplishment, Graeme.

Alums Annareli Morales, Tristan L’Ecuyer, and Elizabeth Mulvihill received well-deserved AMS honors. We look forward to celebrating with them at the AMS Annual Meeting in New Orleans in January 2025.
