(V) SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES

•I am an instructor every year at the Urbino Summer School in Paleoclimatology (http://www.uniurb.it/ussp/), in Italy with approximately 50 international graduate students.

•I was guest editor for a special issue of Geochemistry, Geophysics, GeoSystems on tropical cyclone and climate interactions on across time scales (2008).

•To broadly disseminate the results of my research I created an online Teragrid-enabled Data Portal to house climate model output and Doppler Radar Data. See https://gridsphere.rcac.purdue.edu:8443/gridsphere/gridsphere?cid=96&JavaScript=enabled .

•To provide a means to entrain and educate the community in using the NCAR CCSM for paleoclimate purposes I created a user-interactive web site, or wiki, which is an important place for many beginning paleoclimate models to start.

•American Geophysical Union Session Co-chair: “Tropical Cyclone and Climate Interactions on All Time Scales”, 2006; “Pole-Equator-Pole: Proxy and Modeling Perspectives on Cenozoic Climate Transitions”, 2005; “From Greenhouse to Icehouse: Paleogene Global Change, Phytoplankton Response, and Atmospheric Carbon Removal”, 2004.

•Conference Co-convener, Palaeogeography: The spatial context for understanding evolution of the Earth System, an international conference sponsored by the Geological Society of London and the Society of Sedimentary Geology,  at St. Johns College, Cambridge University, August 11-13 2008.

•Conference Scientific Committee, Climatic and Biotic Events of the Paleogene, major international conference, to be held in Wellington, New Zealand, January 12-15, 2009.

•Co-Chair/Co-Convener, CCSM Paleoclimate Working Group meetings, June 2004 (Santa Fe, NM), June 2005 (Breckenridge, CO); February 2006 (Madison, WI).

•I authored, “Paleoceanographic modeling”, a general introduction to the subject for the Springer Encyclopedia of Paleoclimatology & Ancient Environments, in press.

•2005 to present, I have been on the NSF-sponsored Teragrid Medium and Large Allocation Panels.

•In 2007, I appeared in “Super Comet--After the Impact” a movie which has been picked up by the Discovery Channel (USA and Europe). The movie is an “all ages” documentary of a fictionalized account of what would happen if a K-T type (dinosaur killer) bolide impacted the Earth today. This was turned into a book which appeared in German.

•My recent papers sparked a lot of interest in the global community of learners, and I spent significant time giving interviews to the Voice of America and KPFK in Los Angeles, Geotimes, the Washington Post, BBC Online (translated into 9 languages), MSNBC, Space.com, Discover Magazine, the New York Times, USA Today, Science (May, 2006) and Nature (June, 2006/2007), Bloomberg and an ABC Morning News interview, and the book, Stormworld by Chris Mooney.

•I developed 6 new courses at Purdue: Physical Oceanography (4 grad/ugrads), Physics of Climate (~25 undergrad majors), Theory of Climate (8 graduate students), Proposal Writing for Graduate Students (~14 grad students), Climate Change Science and Policy (with L. Raymond in PoliSci: ~50 students), Soil Moisture and Climate Interactions (~10 students).
