How our country responds to the growing threat of climate change is a hot topic of discussion among policy makers—and now Vermont has been given a louder voice in that conversation. That’s because Lesley-Ann Dupigny-Giroux, Ph.D., professor in UVM’s Department of Geography and Geosciences, and Vermont State Climatologist, has been appointed to serve a three-year term on the Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Dr. Dupigny-Giroux, who is an expert in floods, droughts, and severe weather, is the first-ever Vermont-based scientist to receive an invitation to serve on the BASC.

"We have a great responsibility because the work we do will help shape climate change thinking for the whole nation. It is a tremendous honor and privilege to be part of this Board,” says Dr. Dupigny-Giroux.
