Maryann Racine was recently awarded the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARM Program Fellowship. The fellowship is offered annually through the American Meteorological Society’s Industry/Government/Graduate Fellowship and Undergraduate Scholarship program to help qualified students achieve educational goals in the atmospheric sciences and climate studies.

Maryann is planning to pursue her Ph.D. in environmental science and engineering at Harvard University. There, she will study atmospheric chemical processes to gain a better understanding of factors involved in climate change. Maryann graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in chemistry, and she plans to use chemistry and atmospheric science to study how the chemistry of the atmosphere influences climate.
