Renewable energy requires significant support from environmental sciences. Improvements in siting, forecasting and understanding impacts are all roles that require collaborative efforts in order to have economically viable energy usage. Dr. Weatherhead works closely with academic and private sector partners to determine the most important issues for for research science to address in order to support renewable energy. She co-chaired the AMS workshop on renewable energy to address private, government and academia roles in supporting renewables, as well as the AGU town hall meeting and the annual renewable energy sessions at AGU. Reports on these efforts are available in the Activities section of this web site. |
