Nicholas Metz is Professor of Geoscience and Associate Provost at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where he also chairs the Bidisciplinary Courses program. He joined the faculty in 2011 after earning his Ph.D. from the University at Albany. His academic home is in the Department of Geoscience within the School of Arts and Sciences, and he is based in Lansing Hall. B.S., Valparaiso University (2004) M.S., University at Albany (2008) Ph.D., University at Albany (2011) Dr. Metz specializes in synoptic and mesoscale meteorology, with research interests including lake-effect snow, mesoscale convective systems, atmospheric rivers, cold surges, and the impacts of tropical cyclones on downstream weather. His work bridges observational climatology and dynamic meteorology, often focusing on the Great Lakes region and northeastern United States. He teaches core meteorology courses such as Introduction to Meteorology, Weather Analysis, and Synoptic-Dynamic Meteorology. His recent publications reveal a strong focus on the climatology and dynamics of high-impact weather systems, particularly those involving moisture transport, frontal interactions, and lake-atmosphere coupling. A recurring theme is the use of long-term observational data to understand the frequency, structure, and environmental conditions of extreme weather events. American Meteorological Society National Weather Association National Geophysical Union New York State Academy of Sciences Dr. Metz actively mentors undergraduate researchers, as evidenced by the numerous student co-authors on his publications. His work has been supported by institutional and likely external research funding, though specific grants are not listed in the provided text. He contributes to academic leadership as Associate Provost and Chair of Bidisciplinary Courses. He is involved in collaborative research projects, including field campaigns such as the Ontario Winter Lake-effect Systems (OWLeS), which demonstrates engagement with broader scientific communities and educational initiatives in atmospheric science.

Mark Anderson is a Visiting Professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, with office address BESY 126, Lincoln, NE 68588-0340. Contactable via phone (402-472-2663) or email (mra@unl.edu). He earned his Ph.D. in 1985 from the University of Colorado-Boulder. His research focuses on polar climate dynamics, particularly snow-melt monitoring using passive microwave remote sensing to track spatial-temporal variations and atmospheric changes during melt periods. Additional interests include Great Plains weather phenomena such as heavy snowfall thermodynamics, precipitation regimes, aircraft icing, and tornado climatology. Expertise spans weather analysis/forecasting, winter weather, and satellite remote sensing. Teaching covers synoptic, mesoscale, and satellite meteorology, with seminars on mountain meteorology, climatology, and mesoscale modeling. Recent publications (2015-2019) emphasize applied meteorology in cold regions, including winter severity indices for transportation, Arctic ice melt timing, pavement temperature impacts from clouds, tornado warning systems, and convection forecasting algorithms. He supervises graduate projects on regional weather phenomena but no specific awards are documented.

Helena Flocas is a Full Professor at the Department of Physics (Section of Environmental Physics-Meteorology) at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. She holds a B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Thessaloniki (1987), an M.Sc. in Meteorology from the University of Reading, UK (1990), and a Ph.D. in Meteorology and Climatology from the University of Thessaloniki (1993). She was tenured as a Lecturer in 2000 and promoted to Full Professor in 2018. Her research focuses on Atmospheric Dynamics, Synoptic and Mesoscale Meteorology, and Climate Variability in the Mediterranean basin. She has published over 110 peer-reviewed journal articles, 200 conference papers, and 13 book contributions, with a total citation count exceeding 2,500 (H-index 26). She has supervised 6 completed PhD students and over 53 postgraduate students. Dr. Flocas has coordinated 7 projects out of 60 total participations in research initiatives. She serves on the editorial boards of Theoretical and Applied Climatology , Climate , Global Nest , and Meteorology , and has acted as a guest editor for other journals. She has reviewed manuscripts for over 40 scientific journals and has been recognized with scholarships from the National Institution of Scholarships (undergraduate) and NATO (postgraduate studies in the UK). Her work emphasizes understanding Mediterranean climate extremes, cyclone dynamics, and environmental interactions. She has contributed to developing indices for forecasting heavy rainfall and improving numerical weather prediction models in the region. Her research also explores links between the Indian monsoon and Mediterranean climate patterns.
