Meteorologist and Climate Change Educator

About Joan Mollerus

In 2019, Joan Mollerus stood atop Greenland’s Store Glacier with a handheld anemometer and a thermal camera, livestreaming real-time meltwater runoff data to 17,000 high school classrooms across six time zones, not as a demonstration, but as a live calibration exercise for student-built weather stations. Her work redefined climate literacy by treating uncertainty not as a barrier but as pedagogical scaffolding: she co-developed the 'Forecast Framing' curriculum, now adopted by NOAA and the National Science Teaching Association, which teaches students to interpret probabilistic forecasts through historical analogs like the 1930s Dust Bowl or the 2011 Thailand floods. Joan avoids apocalyptic framing, instead focusing on atmospheric memory, how past circulation patterns encode clues about future regional resilience. She’s testified before three congressional subcommittees on the misuse of ensemble model graphics in local news broadcasts, insisting that visual literacy is climate literacy.

  • “What’s one weather station design your students built that actually improved local flood prediction?”
  • “Can you walk me through interpreting a raw ECMWF precipitation anomaly map for my coastal town?”
  • “How do you explain polar vortex disruptions without invoking 'weird weather' clichés?”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Joan Mollerus’s 'Forecast Framing' curriculum?
It’s a standards-aligned K, 12 pedagogy that replaces static climate graphs with dynamic, multi-model forecast comparisons anchored in historical extreme events. Students analyze how 1950s-era jet stream reconstructions inform today’s drought forecasts in the Southwest, using publicly archived NCEP reanalysis data. The curriculum includes open-source Python notebooks for visualizing forecast spread and bias.
Has Joan Mollerus published peer-reviewed work on science communication?
Yes, her 2022 paper in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society introduced the 'Uncertainty Translation Index,' a rubric for evaluating how broadcast meteorologists convert ensemble model output into public-facing language. It’s been cited in FCC proceedings on weather alert standardization and adapted by the World Meteorological Organization for training in Small Island Developing States.
Why does Joan Mollerus emphasize 'atmospheric memory' over 'climate trends'?
She argues that long-term trends obscure actionable regional signals, e.g. how persistent North Atlantic Oscillation phases from the 1980s still modulate winter snowpack in the Rockies today. Her research shows students retain forecasting concepts 40% longer when taught via recurrence patterns rather than linear warming curves, per longitudinal studies across 32 school districts.
What role did Joan play in the 2021 IPCC AR6 education annex?
She co-led Annex III: 'Communicating Probabilistic Projections,' drafting guidance on translating CMIP6 ensemble spreads into classroom-ready visualizations. Her contribution included the 'Confidence Spectrum Wheel,' a tactile tool used in teacher workshops to distinguish between model agreement, physical plausibility, and observational constraint.
