CSGS/UMI Master’s Thesis and EDT Awards

In late February 2009 I attended the Conference of Southern Graduate Schools meeting in Norfolk, VA. A highlight of the meeting is the awards luncheon when graduate students are recognized for their excellence with the CSGS/UMI Master’s Thesis and EDT Awards. The award is sponsored by ProQuest UMI Dissertation Publishing. This year George (Pat) Kablick, a recent FSU graduate in meteorology received the Mathematics, Physical Sciences, and Engineering Award for his thesis , “Third Intercomparison of Radiation Codes in Climate Models: Longwave Cloudy Sky Benchmarks and Comparisons with Approximate Methods”. Pat attended along with several members of his family. He is presently teaching at the College of Charleston in South Carolina and is applying to graduate school to continue his studies at the doctoral level. Pat’s advisor was Professor Robert Ellingson. Congratulations to both.
