Unless otherwise noted, meteorology and atmospheric science colloquia are held each Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters in the John J. Cahir Auditorium (Room 112) in Walker Building. Refreshments will be served just after the colloquium in the Joel N. Myers Weather Center.
Two forms are required for visitors. (1) A Non-employee Information Form is a requirement for all Penn State visitors if Penn State will be paying for any expenses (either directly or indirectly, such as directly billed room charges), and (2) A Non-Employee Travel Reimbursement Form is also required to process expenses.

Mane Khachatryan, a second-year biology major at Penn State Harrisburg, said she didn’t really get to delve into science until she came to college. So when she heard about EnvironMentors — a program that helps expose high school students to STEM — she jumped at the chance to help younger students explore the field. “I wish I had opportunities like this in high school,” she said.

In 2020, a line of severe thunderstorms unleashed powerful winds that caused billions in damages across the Midwest United States. A technique developed by Penn State scientists that incorporates satellite data could improve forecasts — including where the most powerful winds will occur — for similar severe weather events.
