NCICS at AMS 2017
Following closely on the heels of a busy American Geophysical Union 2016 Fall Meeting, the 2017 annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) takes place January 21–26 in Seattle, Washington. Scientists and staff from the Institute will be contributing to a variety of presentations, posters, and panel discussions. We are also co-hosting a booth at the exhibit hall again this year. We invite everyone attending the meeting to check out our presentations and posters, and to stop by to visit us at the booth.
Asheville Booth
We will be sharing a booth in the exhibit hall with the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce, the National Environmental Modeling and Analysis Center, and The Collider. Stop by booth number 120 to learn more about NCICS and Asheville’s expanding array of climate- and weather-related public, private, and academic activities and opportunities.
