Shelley L. Knuth, member of the AMRC project, joined the group in October 2002 as an associate research specialist. Here at the AMRC,
Shelley acquires and generates Antarctic data, monitors Antarctic icebergs, and assists in the daily maintanence of the center. Prior to her work at the Space Science
and Engineering Center, Shelley held a variety of positions within her field. Included among these jobs were internships at WISN-TV in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and at the
National Weather Service office in Sullivan, Wisconsin. As well, Shelley worked as an office manager at the Center for Mathematical Sciences at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison.
In addition to these jobs, Shelley also founded "Weather Weekly", a college-run television show on cable access in Madison, WI. The show featured Shelley as well as
several of her fellow students for a half an hour each week to discuss the weather. As well, Shelley also has participated in a number of activities within the
Atmospheric Sciences department, including a research trip to Steamboat Springs, Colorado in March 2002 to live atop Mt. Werner at the Storm Peak Lab (sponsored by the
Desert Research Institute). Her research topic was "The Affects of Ultraviolet Radiation in an Alpine Environment". Also, Shelley participated in a storm chasing
event in June 2003 throughout the plains states where she had her first encounter with a tornado. In addition, she had her first deployment to Antarctica in
October of 2003.
Shelley received her B.S. undergraduate degree in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May of 2002, and began work on her
Master's degree at UW-Madison in January, 2004. She holds memberships in the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, and the National Weather
