RISE 2019 Conference

Dr. Brian A. Colle is a Professor and the Director for the Atmospheric Science Division at the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University. He is also the Faculty Director for the University Scholars Honors Program at Stony Brook. He has served on the New York City Panel for Climate Change for the past few years. He received his B.S. in Meteorology at Ohio University in 1991, and M.S. and Ph.D. in Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington in 1994 and 1997, respectively. Afterwards, he was a Research Associate at the University of Washington before arriving at Stony Brook University in 1999. Dr. Colle has served as a member for the NOAA/NCEP Model Advisory Committee (UMAC) and the Strategic Implementation Program, as well as Editor for the AMS journal “Weather and Forecasting.” He was awarded a Young Investigator’s Award by the Office of Naval Research, and he won the AMS Editor’s Award for the journal “Monthly Weather Review.” He has published over 115 peer-reviewed papers in mountain meteorology, coastal meteorology, numerical weather prediction, and regional climate. His Coastal Meteorology and Prediction (CoMAP) group (https://you.stonybrook.edu/comap/) utilizes field observations, high-resolution operational models, and ensembles to better understand high impact coastal weather and its predictability. The group also utilizes global and regional atmospheric models to investigate how extreme weather may change over the Northeast U.S. over the next century.
