| Looking to the Skies, Rooted in Our Communities
The goal of the New Mexico Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) is to foster a greater understanding of atmospheric, oceanic, and hydrologic sciences within our local communities. Our group aims to promote scientific education, professional development, and collaboration among students, educators, professionals, and weather enthusiasts. Through meetings, outreach, and public events, we support the mission of the national AMS while addressing the unique needs and interests of our regional area.

David Gutzler
Retired as Professor Emeritus at the University of New Mexico after 25 years on the teaching faculty of the Earth & Planetary Sciences Department. He earned academic degrees from the University of California at Berkeley (B.S., Engineering Physics), the University of Washington (M.S., Atmospheric Sciences) and MIT (PhD, Meteorology). With his students and collaborators he analyzed observed climate data and model output to evaluate the causes and impacts of global and regional climate variations, and to improve the skill and usefulness of climate and hydrologic projections across southwestern North America on seasonal and longer time scales. He was a Lead Author for the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's fifth and sixth assessment reports (2013 and 2022), and more recently was co-Editor and Contributing Author for a state-commissioned analysis of the impacts of climate change on water resources in New Mexico over the next 50 years.
