VT EPSCoR and the VT Technology Council are very pleased to announce that Dr. Arne Bomblies has been appointed Senior Associate Project Director for VT EPSCoR at the University of Vermont.

Dr. Bomblies has an outstanding career of research, teaching and leadership. He joined the University of Vermont in 2009 and is currently Associate Professor in the School of Engineering. His research foci are broadly centered on the impacts of climate change and variability. Within this context, there are two specific focus areas of Dr. Bomblies' research: disease/climate connections and regional adaptation to climate change.

Within VT EPSCoR he has served as a leader for the Watershed Processes Group since 2011 and was instrumental in the development of the new five-year award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) focused on Lake Champlain Basin Resilience to Extreme Events (BREE). Dr. Bomblies has traveled to the National Science Foundation to report directly on progress for the Adaptation to Climate Change in the Lake Champlain Basin: New Understanding through Complex Systems (RACC) award; he has also presented many RACC related posters and talks at national venues and co-authored several publications.

Dr. Judith Van Houten, VT State EPSCoR Director, is delighted to welcome Dr. Bomblies in his new position. "We have benefitted greatly from Dr. Bomblies' insights and collaborative leadership contributions within our research and modeling efforts. Now we have even more benefit as he expands his role."

Please join in welcoming Arne Bomblies as the Senior Associate Project Director of VT EPSCoR.

Vermont EPSCoR is currently hiring a Coordinator for the VT EPSCoR Center for Workforce Development and Diversity. We are also seeking applicants for a Program Specialist.

In addition to the above two positions, Vermont EPSCoR is recruiting several PhD level graduate students and postdoctoral associates to join our cutting-edge NSF funded research on Basin Resilience to Extreme Events (BREE). We are initiating a five-year award of large-scale interdisciplinary studies which will determine how the Lake Champlain Basin's landscape, watershed and lake conditions respond to extreme weather events and will test policy scenarios for enhancing resilience using our comprehensive Integrated Assessment Model (IAM). As a member of the BREE team, you will have excellent mentoring and participate in unique learning and professional development experiences including learning to communicate your science through our program with the Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science.

A first-of-its-kind event between the Chattanooga TN Public Library and the Burlington VT Fletcher Free Library enabled by VT EPSCoR! The technology used in this event (LOLA) only works over Internet2, and thus, this event was only possible because of our VT UCAN efforts.

After a series of tests, Chattanooga, TN Library and partners in Burlington, Vermont at the Fletcher Free Library decided to try to pull off an ambitious public event on Tuesday, June 21, as part of the International Make Music Day celebration of live music for cities across the globe. Make Music is held in more than 700 cities in 120 countries.

John McClaughry has the freedom to believe what he wishes, and his opinion piece denying the importance of ongoing climate change does just that. I know that when personal identities are based on political doctrines, it is hard to see the evidence clearly.
