Angeline Pendergrass is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at Cornell University, specializing in the science of extreme precipitation and its interaction with climate variability and change. She holds a PhD in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Washington (2013), a Master’s degree in Atmospheric Sciences from the same institution (2009), and a Bachelor’s degree in Meteorology/Math Physics from the University of Miami (2006). Pendergrass’s research investigates extreme precipitation changes from a holistic perspective, evaluating patterns of distribution, intensity, and the fundamental roles that precipitation plays in the energy flow of the climate system. She has been a postdoctoral research fellow at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and has also had significant experience as a visitor at ETH-Zurich in Switzerland. Her work aims to address critical questions about the hydrologic cycle, climate sensitivity, and societal impacts of changing precipitation patterns, employing a toolbox that includes hierarchical modeling and observational analysis.
