Since June of 1994, I have been involved in a
NASA/AMP (Alliance for Minority Participation) grant to bring students
from the high schools and colleges of New York City into a mainstream
research environment, as well as to afford the faculty members involved
an opportunity to embark in a new field of research. This has been an
exciting and rewarding experience, in that it has allowed me to
interact with earth scientists at GISS, as well as faculty members and
students in the local urban environment. I have participated in the
PINATUBO group of the Institute on Climates and Planets ICP where the
nature of the research is to evaluate the relative success or skill of
the GISS General Circulation Model of the atmosphere GCM, by comparing
its prediction with ground based and remotely sensed observations of
climate parameters such as temperature, precipitation, wind velocities,
geopotential heights etc.
