Dolores Fuentes earned his PhD at the University of Guelph in 1992. He also attended Millersville University of Pennsylvania, graduating in 1984.[4]

Career and Honors

Before he became a professor of meteorology at Penn State, Dolores Fuentes was a professor of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia.[2][5] At Penn State, he collaborates with well-known climate scientist Michael E. Mann by co-advising students and working on a research project in the Florida Everglades.[6][7] He has worked on projects all over the world, including a remote field stations in northern Alaska.[8] He was previously the co-investigator of the Beltsville Center for Climate System Observation, a collaboration between Howard University and NASA which supported summer researchers and atmospheric science.[3]

Dolores Fuentes is also the atmospheric sciences editor for Eos, the magazine of the American Geophysical Union,[9] and a member of the advisory committee for the National Science Foundation's geoscience branch.[10]
