Dr. Kristen Corbosiero

20 years ago today, a group of 12 @UAlbanyDAES students intercepted the Spencer, SD F4 tornado. We traded our video of the storm to the local CBS station for their damage survey footage. Both videos are staggering reminders of the awesome beauty and terrible power of nature.

Dr. Justin Minder and I are seeking a postdoc to perform research on the characteristics and predictability of rainfall events over the Catskill mountains that impact the NYC water supply. See atmos.albany.edu/facstaff/tang/… for more info. Application deadline is May 9, 2025.

We are excited to share our career panelists Jess Langlois, Major Pete Saunders, and Alex Avalos, as well as our graduate school panelists Dr. Andrew Westgate, Dr. Kristen Corbosiero, and Bobby Saba! Register: lyndonams.org/nesc

A statement from our department regarding the recent NOAA/NWS cuts.

Looking for ROI in hurricane forecast improvements? “These improvements imply an annual per-hurricane cost reduction of $700,000 per county, or $5 billion per hurricane”. nber.org/digest/202409/…

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

We're hiring a Visiting Asst. Professor/Postdoctoral Associate in terrestrial water systems (sfc hydrology), or snow & ice processes, who will perform research under the supervision of a @UAlbanyDAES faculty member, with the goal of developing an independent research program.

🌀Our TCBL lab🌀is admitting a M.S. (or Ph.D.) student to study boundary layer winds and tornadoes of landfalling hurricanes in Fall 2025. Students with a strong passion for hurricane science and a strong background of programming/physics are particularly encouraged to apply.

@KellyGeigerWX Take care of yourself today, Kelly. 🫂

Currently having a hard time going to class and work this morning.

What can we learn from back-to-back monster hurricanes Helene and Milton? defector.com/what-can-we-le…

I am looking for a new graduate student to join my group in Fall 2025 to study coastal tropical convection! More information is here nsakaeda.oucreate.com/open-gra-posit…

I am happy to announce that I am actively looking for two PhD students to join my research group starting Fall 2025 at @MiamiRosenstiel! These positions are fully funded. Please see the slide for more info and feel free to reach out with any questions via email or DM here.

Hurricanes are more powerful than human technology. “If meteorologists could stop hurricanes, we would stop hurricanes,” says @ProfCorbosiero. “If we could control the weather, we would not want the kind of death and destruction that’s happened.” apnews.com/article/weathe…

Lightning enveloping the eyewall is typically a signature we only see in the most powerful hurricanes.

Interested in @UAlbanyDAES for graduate school? Have questions about opportunities, the application process, or department climate? Please join us on Tuesday, Nov. 5 @ 5 PM EST for a virtual information session and Q&A with faculty & current students. Registration info below!

@JeremiahOtero 😨 Stay safe!

Ugh (evacuated to Ocala)

This fall, we welcomed our largest graduate student class to date of 26(!) students into our Atmospheric Science Master's and PhD, and Applied Master's in Atmospheric Science, programs (20 pictured below). Welcome new and continuing Great Danes!

Here is our latest episode of What's On My Radar! This week's topic is fitting as we are now approaching the peak of the season: Hurricanes. Thank you to @ProfCorbosiero from @ualbany @UAlbanyDAES for taking the time to talk with me! @WNYT shorturl.at/bBDWo

🚨New website alert! 🚨 sites.google.com/tamu.edu/nunez… Check it out, especially if you are looking for graduate student or postdoc opportunities! Let's learn together about the tropical atmosphere & how it is changing with the warming climate!😃⛈️🌀

@MikeFischerWx Great advice from Brian. It's hard to say no when the manuscripts look interesting, but you can, and should, to prioritize your own work.

Hi, I’m Michael, and I’m really really burnt out over reviewing manuscripts. :(

@MikeFischerWx @MiamiRosenstiel @UMIDSC Congratulations, Michael! Very proud of you and all you've accomplished!

I’m thrilled to announce that I will be starting as an Assistant Professor at @MiamiRosenstiel and @UMIDSC (jointly) beginning next month. I’m incredibly grateful to have this opportunity. As you can see, the family is pretty excited too!
