Meteorologists across the nation will visit the University of South Alabama on March 28 and 29 to participate in the Southeastern Coastal & Atmospheric Processes Symposium presented by USA's chapter of the American Meteorological Society.
Symposium speakers include Dr. Phil Klotzbach from Colorado State University, NASA Earth Sciences Program Manager John Haynes, The Southern Region Director of the National Weather Service Bill Proenza, and United States Air Force Hurricane Hunter Rich Henning.
Dr. Phil Klotzbach is a research associate at Colorado State University and has recently taken over the famed Dr. Grey Hurricane Forecast. Much of Dr. Klotzbach's research focuses on season prediction of Atlantic basin tropic cyclones. Klotzbach designed the United States Land Falling Hurricane Probability Web page, which is where the public can find the famed Dr. Grey Hurricane Forecast. Klotzbach plans to speak about the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season and its possible effects to the U.S. coast.
John Haynes is the earth sciences program manager for NASA and is a South Alabama graduate. The NASA manager plans to speak about NASA earth sciences research results applied to the challenges of public health and coastal management. The study's plan is to help scientists better understand environmental factors affecting human health and its well being.
The National Weather Service Southern Region Director Bill Proenza graduated from Florida State University and was the National Hurricane Center director before returning to the NWS in a director position in 2007.
Proenza is best known for accusing the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration of wasting money after they planned to spend $4 million to publicize a 200th anniversary celebration while cutting $700,000 from hurricane research in 2007. In 2001, the New York native was awarded the prestigious Francis W. Reichelderfer Award for outstanding environmental services to the nation by the American Meteorological Society.
