Eight scientists and engineers from the 91̽»¨ have been elected this year to the Washington State Academy of Sciences.

Chris Bretherton, a professor of atmospheric sciences and of applied mathematics, has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences.

91̽»¨atmospheric sciences faculty and graduate students are in Tasmania studying how clouds form over Antarctica’s Southern Ocean.

91̽»¨faculty members were among international researchers who compiled the fifth climate-change assessment report. The 91̽»¨will host a seminar Tuesday, Oct. 1 with some of the Seattle-area authors.
