  • Kristi Steinhilber, AWA’s Staff Meteorologist, volunteers for  STEMblazers. Through this organization, Kristi is able to speak in front of middle and high-school girls all over Colorado about Meteorology and the importance of being a Woman in STEM. Between doing hands on experiments and describing other for meteorology majors, like PMP studies, Kristi hopes to inspire the next generation of Meteorologists. Read more about Kristi's work to inspire the next generation of scientists here. 
  • AWA and NOAA's Physical Sciences Laboratory will be publishing work describing the importance collaboration which utilized high resolution ensemble numerical model simulation to produce more accurate extreme precipitation information.  This output was then applied thorough AWA's SPAS process to accurately characterize historical extreme precipitation events. Read the early online release version here.
  • AWA presented on the recent extreme rainfall near Waverly, TN and from Ida in PA-NJ-NY during the opening general session at the Dam Safety Conference in Nashville, September 13, 2021.  Click here for the presentation.
  • The island-wide PMP update for Puerto Rico was completed in August.  This updates outdated data last published in 1961.  The PMP report can be read here.
  • Bill Kappel provided a detailed lecture for the Mine Water Waster and Closure Course at the Colorado School of Mines.  PMP and meteorological data development and uses were discussed in detail.  See the lecture here.
