CAFNR

Late last year, as part of the University of Missouri’s mission to strengthen student success, Mizzou offered funding opportunities to enhance teaching and learning. Eric Aldrich, an assistant teaching professor of atmospheric science, secured $100,000 which has gone toward the Weather Analysis and Visualization (WAV) Lab. The funding includes upgrades to the computing infrastructure and the installation of a suite of broadcast-ready weather graphics and equipment.
