Michael Mann, distinguished professor of atmospheric science and director of the Earth System Science Center at Penn State, received the 2019 Praxis Award in Professional Ethics during a ceremony at Villanova University on April 11. A recognized expert on climate change, Mann received the award for his significant contributions to climate science and communication and advocacy efforts.
Michael Mann, Penn State Distinguished Professor of Atmospheric Science, explains in that the future is still very much in our hands when it comes to dangerous and damaging summer weather extremes.
For every 10 degrees north from the equator you move, spring arrives about four days earlier than it did a decade ago, according to researchers from Penn State, U.C. Davis and the University of Minnesota Duluth. This northward increase in the rate of springtime advance is roughly three times greater than what previous studies indicated.
One size does not always fit all, especially when it comes to global climate models, according to Penn State climate researchers.
