Spring 2020 graduate\u00a0Giorgio\u00a0Sarro\u00a0(Atmospheric Sciences) was awarded the American Meteorological Society\u2019s\u00a0Father James B. Macelwane Annual Award in Meteorology<\/a>. This award, one of the most prestigious student research accolades in the atmospheric sciences, recognizes the most outstanding original research paper by an undergraduate student.<\/p>\n

Giorgio\u00a0Sarro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sarro\u2019s research focused on tropical storms and hurricanes that usually form and strengthen in the tropics, but sometimes gain energy from atmospheric conditions while moving northward toward land. This \u201cextratropical transition,\u201d can create devastating storms, such as Hurricane Sandy in 2012.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can cause more damage,\u201d Sarro said, \u201cbecause the storm becomes bigger, waves can build more and there can be more precipitation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sarro, whose work was featured in the 2020 UWM Research magazine, worked with\u00a0Clark Evans<\/u>, associate professor of mathematical sciences and atmospheric science program chair. Sarro will be starting doctoral studies at the University of Chicago this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
