Scientific Leadership

Scientists from Atmospheric and Environmental Research (AER) contribute world-class research and development. More than half hold Ph.D.s or advanced degrees. Our scientists serve as faculty and instructors at area universities and also as committee members of organizations such as the National Research Council. 

AER staff members are active participants in professional journal review boards as well as panel and mail proposal reviews for government agencies. They're active members of professional organizations such as the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU). AER scientists have served as President of the AMS and as Vice Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Committee for the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF).
