Innovations in Road Weather Science

This webinar is a joint presentation of the UCAR Center for Science Education and NSTA. Join us for a Science Update Webinar to build your science knowledge. Looking for ideas to bring excitement and real-world connections to your weather unit? Your students will be fascinated to learn about the innovations and technology used in road weather safety. One in five vehicle crashes in the U.S. are due to snow, rain, fog, wind, and other severe weather-related conditions. Learn how research at the intersection of transportation, weather, climate, artificial intelligence, and automated cars is revolutionizing how surface transportation and weather communities are working together to increase traffic safety, efficiency, and mobility. Meet Amanda Siems-Anderson, scientist at the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), as she shares about this fascinating area of research. After Q&A with Amanda, hear from educators at the UCAR Center for Science Education about free, K-12 classroom resources related to today’s webinar.
