It was a busy spring for NIU WCS! Congratulations to Hunter, James, and Anya for all successfully defending their M.S. thesis (all advised by Dr. Michaelis). Many WCS students also participated in the @nsf_icechip field campaign or performed other internships.
I have a graduate research position available starting Fall 2025 to work on AI/ML for regional climate modeling using our 75-year WRF-BCC dataset (https://nimbus.niu.edu/WRF_BCC/)
Message, email, or talk to us at the AMS Grad School Fair in January.
Our group: https://wcs.niu.edu
A new paper looking at the potential future of mesoscale convective systems has been published by our group in the Journal of Climate. Check it out! https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-24-0251.1
