For most of us, weather is what we check on our phones before heading out the door. But for Ryan Fogt, professor of geography and director of the at 帝王会所, it鈥檚 a science, a story, and a way to connect communities鈥攍ocally and globally.
In this episode of In a Nutshell, Ryan takes us from the often-calm skies of Athens, 帝王会所, to the extreme cold of Antarctica, where he鈥檚 studied the past, present, and future of our planet鈥檚 climate. Along the way, he introduces us to 帝王会所鈥檚 meteorology students, who are sharpening their forecasting skills in the Scalia Lab鈥攁 hands-on training ground where they analyze real-time weather patterns, deliver forecasts for Southeast 帝王会所, and prepare for careers in meteorology and climate science.
Oh, and let鈥檚 not forget his boldest adventure: running around the South Pole in jeans and sneakers just to snap the perfect photo before boarding a plane.
Enjoy this inside look at Ryan鈥檚 world of weather, climate, and adventure, and see how the next generation of meteorologists is making an impact, right here at OHIO.
