UCAR Trustee Candidate Amy Clement The Members Nominating Committee is very pleased to nominate Dr. Amy Clement for a three- year term as an institutional member of the UCAR Board of Trustees. Dr. Clement is an Associate Professor in the Rosentiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science at the University of Miami. She is the 2007 recipient of the James B. Macelwane Medal of the American Geophysical Union, awarded for “significant contributions to the geophysical sciences by a young scientist of outstanding ability.” In her research, Dr. Clement uses mathematical models together with observational data to address fundamental questions about the climate system, such as its sensitivity to external forcing and the mechanisms for abrupt climate change. She has done landmark work demonstrating the importance of the equatorial Pacific Ocean for the response of the climate to variations in Earth’s orbit. She has served on the UCAR Membership Committee, and she currently serves on the NCAR Earth System Laboratory Advisory Committee and the Community Earth System Model Advisory Board. UCAR would greatly benefit from her knowledge of cutting edge climate science, including the study of Earth’s past climates, and from her advice as an exceptional scientist who is an active user of NCAR models and data sets. She would be an excellent addition to the UCAR Board. Personal Statement I am pleased to stand for election to the UCAR Board of Trustees. I have supported UCAR’s activities for many years by serving on the UCAR Steering Committee for the NOAA Postdoctoral Program in Climate and Global Change, the UCAR Membership Committee, the Community Climate System Model Advisory Board, and the Advisory Committee for the NCAR Earth System Laboratory. I have benefitted greatly from the services that UCAR provides, from both intellectual and practical perspectives. In short, I am pleased to have an opportunity to serve on the Board of Trustees to help further advance the goals of UCAR and the Geosciences community. The main quality that I can bring to the UCAR Board of Trustees is a strong commitment to research and education. My research interests focus on fundamental questions about the behavior of the climate system. At the University of Miami, my research group includes post-docs and graduate students, and we have active collaborations with researchers at many universities and government labs. In particular, my students and I interact significantly with the NCAR community, through workshops, summer schools, and collaborative research. In recognition of my research activities I was awarded the Macelwane Medal of the American Geophysical Union and the Meisinger Award of the American Meteorological Society. I have been involved in teaching and mentoring undergraduates in our undergraduate meteorology for nine years, and have had the pleasure of helping our program grow considerably (both in faculty and students) during those years. I am currently the Director for the graduate program in Meteorology and Physical Oceanography. This program has also grown over the years, and now there are approximately 60 graduate students. My experience as an educator extends beyond the academic community as well: I have been involved in the organization of numerous local forums on multi-disciplinary aspects of climate change in South Florida, have actively participated in the national-level discussion of climate change through congressional briefings and the National Research Council, and have been involved in international activities as a contributing author to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report and as a member of the International CLIVAR Pacific Panel. If elected to the Board of Trustees, I can bring my experience as a researcher and educator to help strengthen the interactions among UCAR, universities and national labs, and bring research in atmospheric and related sciences to a wider community.
