March 22 – 26 | Albuquerque, New Mexico | Hyatt Regency
Meeting Highlights
A record-breaking 316 scientists and researchers participated in a series of plenary and poster sessions and working group meetings at the fourteenth annual ARM Science Team Meeting. Traveling from all over the world, 71 scientists from 22 different countries were in attendance! One participant traveled 8,567 miles to attend the meeting. Countries represented included China, South Korea, Nigeria, Russia, Czech Repulic, Bulgaria, Switzerland, France, United Kingdom, and Canada.
Dr. Ari Patrinos, Associate Director of DOE’s Office of Biological and Environmental Research, kicked off the plenary session on Tuesday morning with a presentation on DOE’s perspective of the ARM Program:
“ARM brought the study of climate change into ‘big time’ science. ARM is doing science that is very relevant and important. Keep up the good work!” Dr. Patrinos said as he concluded his speech.
Also, Wanda Ferrell, DOE ARM Program Manager, and Peter Lunn, DOE Atmospheric Science Program Manager spoke.
