Tuesday, September 28 – "Career As Meteorologist" (in our Career Conversations series)
grades 7-12
Join Lelan Statom, Meteorologist, NewsChannel 5, WTVF Nashville, a CBS affiliate and hear about the many and varied opportunities available for meteorologists. Why would your students choose atmospheric science or applied meteorology? Do they have a deep curiosity about the natural world? As a meteorologist, they can satisfy that curiosity by investigating the natural forces that shape our weather and climate. They can use their knowledge to warn others when danger is approaching in the form of tornadoes and hurricanes. They can learn about the latest tools of modern technology (computers, radar, satellites) to discover how natural processes and human activities affect our atmosphere. They can be a TV weather forecaster, or perhaps they want to design and launch a new weather satellite, or maybe they want to become a storm chaser. Learn about observing our atmosphere and a bit of the science behind weather, and the technology too in this fascinating videoconference on applied meteorology.
