Henri D. Grissino-Mayer Department of Geography University of Tennessee Knoxville, Tennessee 37996 865.974.6029 http://web.utk.edu/~grissino From: Grissino-Mayer, Henri D Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 6:00 PM To: [log in to unmask] Cc: Bhaduri, Budhendra L. ([log in to unmask]); [log in to unmask] Subject: Dr. Elsa Nickl Interview tomorrow and Friday All, Tomorrow and Friday, our department will be hosting Dr. Elsa Nickl, a candidate for our open position in Physical Geography and Climatology. The final detailed interview schedule is attached to this email and a copy will soon exist on the table in the workroom. Graduate students, you will be meeting with the candidate for a pizza lunch tomorrow from 12:00 to 1:30 in Room 406, arranged by Neil Conner. Dr. Nickl's talk is at 3:40 tomorrow in Room 301, and *this time* I know that no other class will be in that room! Graduate students, this is a 501 colloquium talk, please remember, and attendance is required. Undergraduate students, let me second the department's invitation from our department head Derek Alderman to attend this talk! We want you to be a part of this search process! Dr. Nickl received her B.S. degree in 1996 in Geography from the Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru, her M.S. degree in Geography in 2007 from the University of Delaware, and her Ph.D. degree in 2012 again in Geography from the University of Delaware, studying under Dr. Cort Willmott. Her research focuses on climate variability and change, water resources, and precipitation variability, specifically in mountainous areas, using regional climate models facilitated by geospatial techniques. Her dissertation research investigated significant changes and differences in land-surface precipitation over the last 100+ years, especially over poorly sampled regions and in regions with complex topography. Dr. Nickl has five peer-reviewed publications, including one as senior author published in 2010 in the Annals of the Association of American Geographers, and others in the International Journal of Remote Sensing, Advances in Geosciences, and the Journal of Applied Meteorology. She has taught a diverse set of courses in her academic career, including Climatic Processes, Meteorology, Climate and Life, Advanced GIS, Cartography, the Geography of Peru, and Human Geography. The title of her talk tomorrow is "Variability in Land-Surface Precipitation Estimates over 100-plus Years with Emphasis on Mountainous Regions." Thank you all! Henri D.
