Lab member Ryan Zhenqi Zhou receives both the 2024 Hugh Calkins Applied GIS Award and the 2024 Michael Trapasso Climate Impacts Award!
The Hugh Calkins Applied GIS Award is given annually to a graduate student from UB Geography, who best applies the principles that Dr. Calkins developed and taught for many years.
The Dr. L. Michael Trapasso award is given annually to a current graduate student from UB Geography in order to advance his/her research involving the use of meteorological or climatological data in the following year. For Ryan, he uses meteorological or climatological data to advance his research on winter storms and blizzards, and to help communities become more resilient during these disasters.
Congratulations, Ryan!!
