Erin Wetherley wins the AMS presentation award

Erin Wetherley received the Board of Urban Environment (BUE)'s Outstanding Poster Presentation award at the American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting which was held in Seattle, WA January 22-26. At the 13th Symposium of the Urban Environment, the BUE committee attends the student presentations and each member casts their votes for the best oral or poster papers taking into consideration: scientific merit, contribution to the field of urban environment, as well as presentation skills. Only the top three presentations are awarded cash prizes and a certificate. Erin's poster was titled, "Urban composition and surface temperature at multiple resolutions using airborne spectroscopic and thermal imaging". This poster explored sub-pixel unmixing of urban surfaces and investigating patterns between mixtures of material fractions and land surface temperature.
