James (ahem) Yeah, I was there, and the hub went too (it was his birthday over that weekend). We both enjoyed the show. AFAIK, I can make it, but things can change between now and then, so we'll see. I'm looking forward to seeing the special speakers you're having in '13. --Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxjim207 Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Thanks! We really enjoyed having you last year and you brought to house down with an amazing presentation as the banquet speaker. We still cannot thank you enough for helping us out with that. I remember the June 1st day so much since it was my 21st birthday and instead of drink cold drinks I was out chasing. I still remember having a crew of like many chasers moving in on that storm. Unfortuntely I couldn't get to the storm (could see it) but thanks to Massachuettus traffic I got hung up just on the south side of Worcester. Anyways, we will be posting soon about who we have for the 3 main speakers and once that is complete then we will get everything else together. Lyndon State represent! haha Thanks Turtle! ~James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxjim207 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Share Posted October 4, 2012 The Lyndon State College AMS&NWA Excutive Board is happy to announce the 3 main speakers for the 38th Annual Northeastern Storm Conference in Rutland Vermont. March 8-10, 2013. Friday Night "Ice Breaker": Stephen Bennett, J.D. "Stephen (Steve) Bennett, J.D. is a founding partner and Chief Science and Products Officer for EarthRisk Technologies. Steve's leadership role includes directing EarthRisk's product pipeline as well as providing strategic guidance for the company’s research portfolio. He also manages the EarthRisk development team and is the company liaison with university researchers around the world. EarthRisk provides software as a solution for analysts who link weather to business decisions. EarthRisk's research goes into the proverbial “black hole” for predicting weather more than one week in advance. We pioneer "big data" for weather analysis by leveraging the power of cloud computing to perform millions of statistical calculations each day. EarthRisk's products link past weather events to future forecast outcomes in real time. We provide data-driven probabilistic forecasts for extreme temperature events up to 40-days ahead. Prior to founding EarthRisk, Steve spent three years at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego where he forged relationships linking earth systems research to energy, insurance, and financial firms. Steve has been a meteorologist since 1995, forecasting the weather and applying weather research for financial investing and media applications. He served six years at Citadel Investment Group, a hedge fund in Chicago, where he was part of the team that built and launched Citadel's Global Energy Trading business. Steve also spent nearly two years at the Enron Corporation in the research division supporting natural gas trading. The first half of his career spanned a variety of consulting companies and media outlets including The Weather Channel, WeatherData Inc. and Weather Services Corporation. Steve completed his undergraduate meteorology degree in 1995 from the University of South Alabama and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the John Marshall Law School in 2008. He is currently the chairman of the American Meteorological Society's Energy Committee on the AMS Board for Enterprise and Economic Development and Commission for the Weather and Climate Enterprise." Saturday Night Banquet Speaker: Dr. Lesley-Ann Dupigny-Giroux An applied climatologist by training, Dr. Dupigny-Giroux's research interests intersect a number of interdisciplinary fields including hydroclimatic natural hazards and climate literacy as well as the use of remote sensing and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) in the fields of spatial climate and land-surface processes. In terms of hazards, she has examined the spectre of drought in both semiarid environments in northeast Brazil, as well as humid continental ones like northeastern North America. Earlier work in the Journal of the American Water Resources Association outlines the climatic underpinnings of drought in Vermont and shall be used as part of a national effort to develop a North American-wide definition of drought. Her recently published work includes guest editing a special issue of the journal Physical Geography, devoted to the theme of climate literacy. Other publications (e.g. Remote Sensing of Environment) delve into the use of multiangular imaging to examine drought stress in New England wetlands. Finally, Dr. Dupigny-Giroux is the lead editor of Historical climate variability and impacts in North America, the first monograph of its kind to deal with the use of documentary and other ancillary records in the analysis of climate variability and change. Dr. Dupigny-Giroux is also the State Climatologist for Vermont, a role which has allowed her to facilitate dialogue among meteorology, climatology, emergency management, agriculture, forestry and GIS users across the state. She continues to work closely with colleagues at these and other state agencies to better quantify the causal dynamic and impacts of floods, droughts and severe weather on Vermont’s physical landscape. Dr. Dupigny-Giroux teaches introductory courses in physical geography and geotechniques. Her intermediate and advanced level courses include topics on Climatology, Remote Sensing, Advanced GIS Applications, and Satellite Climatology and Land-Surfaces Processes. She holds a B.S. in Physical Geography and Development Studies from the University of Toronto (1989), an M.S.(1992) in Climatology and Hydrology and a Ph.D. (1996) in Climatology and Geographic Information Systems from McGill University." Sunday Morning Speaker: Meteorologist Kevin Skarupa "Meteorologist, Kevin Skarupa, can be seen weekdays from 5 to 7 a.m. on News 9 Daybreak with Erin Fehlau and Sean McDonald, then on News 9 at Noon. Kevin earned a meteorology degree from Lyndon State College in Vermont and currently holds both the AMS Television Seal of Approval and the Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal. Kevin has also worked for KIMT in Mason City, Iowa; WPBF in West Palm Beach, Fla.; and WKRN in Nashville. If he looks familiar, it’s because Kevin worked at WMUR back in 1998 doing weekend weather under the name "Kevin Joseph." His favorite part of the job is visiting dozens of schools a year and talking with students about weather. The toughest part is the alarm clock, which goes off around 1 a.m. Kevin enjoys playing golf, running and watching sports. He and his wife Melissa (a Merrimack native) have a son, Levi, and miniature beagle, Shilo."

wxjim207 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 I am currently working to put together a panel discussion for the conference. What is a panel discussion? Well just before the Saturday Night Banquet we have a panel of professionals that will take questions from students, guests, professionals and anyone else about there side of the field. I have selected someone to represent broadcasting but I am looking to find those going to the conference that might be able to represent Private Industry, NWS, Climate (prefer policy), Environmental Sciences (maybe?), Space Weather (This would be awesome!), Military (maybe?) and other areas. Any suggestions? I have some professionals in mind but won't know anything until registration is open which wont be till around the first week of January. I am just rambling now! But I figured you all might want to know whats going on in my mind in the planning process. That's the latest from my side of things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchel Volk Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I went to the first one back in 1973 which was run by Joe D'Aleo with one of the speaker being David Ludlum. It was a great experience and I hope I will have the time to addend it once again in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
