Best Academic Weatherman
Roland Madden
Roland Madden, a research scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, won the 2002 Jule G. Charney Award from the American Meteorological Society "for pioneering investigations of atmospheric predictability, global waves and the intraseasonal oscillation." Given the inaccuracy of so many of his media brethren, maybe he should be on TV.
Best Academic Mentoring Program
Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science
Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science, a mentoring program offered by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, recently received a Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Mentoring, one of ten handed out nationwide, for the way it allows students in underserved communities to get a shot at a career in the sciences. Last year, 43 students participated, including 21 who took part in a ten-week internship in Boulder. Several students who've utilized the program in past years are now working full-time in the field.
