GMAO Takes the Stage at the Sciences and Exploration Directorate’s 13th Annual Poster Party
03.03.2020
For the past 13 years, the Sciences and Exploration Directorate (Code 600) at NASA GSFC has hosted an annual New Year’s Poster Party. GMAO members took the opportunity to showcase some of their recent work at this event, mainly by using posters prepared for the recent AGU and AMS annual meetings.
The poster party concluded with prizes in the following categories:
- Piers Sellers Interdisciplinary Award
- Best Poster Title
- Best Science Story
- Best Graphic Design
- Best Science as Food
This year one of GMAO's own, Lesley Ott, won the Piers Sellers Interdisciplinary Award for her poster GEOS-Carb: A model-based framework for monitoring carbon from space. Director of the Earth Sciences Division Jim Irons stated, “Please join me in congratulating Lesley Ott for her selection as the recipient of the Piers J. Sellers award for the best interdisciplinary science poster. Her name will be added to the cricket bat that serves as the plaque for this award. It currently resides on a wall in Bldg. 34 and I may lobby to move it for at least this year to Bldg. 33 because … I believe that a Code 610 poster has been selected for this award for three years in a row and I believe two out of those three have come from GMAO; no brag, just fact.”
Other GMAO posters presented were:
Santha Akella: Diurnal Cycles in SST: Coupled DA and future observational requirements
