Presenter: Amy Butler
Topic: Polar Vortex
Dr. Amy Butler presented about why she became an atmospheric scientist, present a brief overview of the stratosphere and the ozone layer, and discussed how we might use information about the stratospheric polar vortex to make extended-range weather forecasts.
Presenter: Janice Bytheway
Topic: Precipitation
Dr. Janice Bytheway presented about precipitation - how it forms, how we observe it and how we predict it.
About the series: The CIRES/NOAA Science-at-Home Virtual Speaker Series runs at 11am Tuesdays and 1pm Thursdays and is designed to show young students at home the work being done at CIRES and NOAA, and offer recommendations to activities that can be done at home to reinforce learning.
Presenter: Ted Scambos
Topic: Antarctica (in the palm of your hand)
In this webinar, Dr. Ted Scambos presented a 'science travelogue' for the continent of Antarctica. His nineteen expeditions to Antarctica, in every region of the continent and the sea ice that surrounds it, has made him an expert in the field.

Presenters: Mylène Jacquemart
Topic: Catastrophic Glacier Collapses
In this webinar, scheduled to be held 5/14/2020 at 1:00pm MTN, Mylène Jacquemart will talk about her research working to ID triggers of sudden glacier detachments: destructive glacial process that buried kilometers of Alaskan forest.

Presenter: Peter Martin
Topic: New Guinea - When Did It Form and How It Impacts Climate
In this webinar, scheduled to be held 5/12/2020 at 11:00am MTN, Dr. Peter Martin will be presenting on his research in and of New Guinea. In particular, when did it form and how it impacted historical climate change.

Topic: Geomagnetism
In this webinar, scheduled to be held 5/7/2020 at 1:00 pm MTN, Dr. Rick Saltus, Dr. Manoj Nair, and Dr. Neesha Schnepf will present on their recent research in geomagnetism and talk about their crowd-sourcing app: CrowdMag

Presenter: Lincoln Pitcher
Topic: Greenland and Ice Sheets
Dr. Lincoln Pitcher will present on recent research about meltwater production, transport and export from the Greenland Ice Sheet. He will talk about what glacier hydrology field research in Greenland is like, and why studying Greenland Ice Sheet hydrologic processes is important.

Presenter: Noah Fierer
Topic: Microbes in Soils of Antarctica
Dr. Noah Fierer will be talking about recent work looking at the microorganisms living in soils of Antarctica, one of the driest and coldest places on Earth. He will discuss how and why we went to Antarctica to study these microorganisms and what they can tell us about life on our planet and the potential for life on other planets.
4/28/2020 11:00 MTN
Presenter: Elizabeth Thompson
Topic: Ocean-Atmosphere Interactions: Amphibious Science
In this webinar, Dr. Elizabeth Thompson will discuss how learning about weather can also teach us a lot about the ocean. The oceans impact weather across the entire world, but these invisible interactions are some of the most difficult to measure or predict.
