Montana Etten-Bohm, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences, was selected as a winner of the oral presentation competition at the American Meteorological Society’s 27^th Conference on Probability and Statistics, which was held virtually earlier this year.

She presented a recent study in a talk entitled “Using Advanced Statistical Models to Predict Lightning in GCMs,” with coauthors Lin Zhu, Dr. Courtney Schumacher, Dr. Mikyoung Jun, and Dr. Yangyang Xu.  

Etten-Bohm will graduate with her Ph.D. this May and in August will join the faculty at University of North Dakota's Department of Atmospheric Sciences as an instructional assistant professor.
