Today the entire DRI family is saddened to learn of the passing of our dear friend and long-time supporter Regent Dorothy S. Gallagher.

Meet Farnaz Hosseinpour, a Ph.D. student working on climate modeling and simulation in DRI’s Atmospheric Sciences division. She’s using an ensemble of NASA satellite datasets to explore relationships between interactive-aerosol forcing and planetary-scale climatic responses. 

In a new study, published this week in Nature GeoScience, DRI hydrogeologists and atmospheric scientists, led by Joe McConnell, Ph.D., analyze past climate variability using ice cores from West Antarctica.
