Matthew Hoenig, Michael Susko and Patrick Wright, rising seniors in the Department of Meteorology and Atmospheric Science, won the first-ever Max University Challenge contest. Hosted by The Weather Company, the contest aims to “help develop future meteorologists by leveraging the Max Ecosystem.”
Fuqing Zhang, distinguished professor of meteorology in the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences at Penn State, died Friday, July 19. He was 49.
Shawn Murdzek, a graduate student studying meteorology and atmospheric science in Penn State’s College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, received a 2019 Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation. He is one of seven EMS students and 24 Penn State students to receive the honor.
Stan Benjamin recently returned to University Park to accept the 2019 Charles L. Hosler Alumni Scholar Medal at the College of Earth and Mineral Science’s annual Wilson Awards Banquet.
Students in a Penn State meteorology and atmospheric science class monitored greenhouse gas leaks around State College, then presented their findings to local government officials.
Penn State meteorology and atmosphere science students recently raised more than $400 for the American Red Cross to support storm victims.

Shawn Murdzek is the spring 2019 College of Earth and Mineral Sciences student marshal, the top graduate overall, and Muhamad S. Hakimi Bin Daud is the college’s engineering honor marshal, the top graduate from an engineering discipline.
In the future, weather forecasts that provide storm warnings and help us plan our daily lives could come up to five days sooner before reaching the limits of numerical weather prediction, scientists said.
The North Atlantic warming hole (NAWH), a region of reduced warming located in the North Atlantic Ocean, significantly affects the North Atlantic jet stream in climate simulations of the future, according to a team of researchers.
For anyone, a trip to Argentina would have been exciting. But for Penn State graduate student Rachel Gutierrez, who’s long been fascinated by severe weather such as hail and thunderstorms, it represents the holy grail of her research interests.
Charles Hosler, dean emeritus of Penn State's College of Earth and Mineral Sciences, is credited with continuing the transition of the college from its longtime mineral extraction and processing focus to one comprising experts of the entire Earth system. But, he said, few might grasp the importance of the one decision he felt had the most impact.
Professor Fuqing Zhang in Penn State’s College of Earth and Mineral Sciences has been elected as a 2018 Fellow of the American Geophysical Union. Fellows are selected based on their exemplary leadership abilities and research contributions in the Earth and space fields.
