Art DeGaetano, professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies for Atmospheric Sciences in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, has been named a Fellow by the American Meteorological Society.
“I am honored by this recognition,” DeGaetano said. “It is rewarding to know that my colleagues—both here at Cornell and across the country—value my contributions to the field.”
“This is a tremendous honor for Art,” said EAS Chair Geoffrey Abers. “Fellows are an elite group with no more than 0.2% of members being elected each year.”
"I was flabbergasted by all the congratulation and kind words I received from so many former students!” said DeGaetano.
DeGaetano’s research focuses on applications of climate data. This work involves the development and dissemination of methods and data sets that provide climatological information to decision-makers in a variety of fields.
He is director of the Northeast Regional Climate Center, whose mission is to facilitate and enhance the collection, dissemination and use of climate data as well as to monitor and assess climatic conditions and impacts in the twelve-state, northeastern region of the United States.
"Those eligible for election to Fellow shall have made outstanding contributions to the atmospheric or related oceanic or hydrologic sciences or their applications during a substantial period of years," according to the AMS.
