With a career spanning more than five decades in academia, Berrien brought unparalleled expertise and passion to the University of Oklahoma, where he served as Dean of the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences and Director of the National Weather Center since 2010.

Interim Leadership Announced for AGS and NWC

As we mourn the loss of our friend and colleague Dr. Berrien Moore III, Senior Vice President and Provost, Norman Campus, André-Denis G. Wright shares the interim leadership plan. He has asked Dr. Petra Klein to serve as Interim Dean of the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences, and Dr. Robert Palmer to step in as the Interim Director of the National Weather Center. Their appointments are effective immediately, pending final approval of the OU Board of Regents. Both Dr. Klein and Dr. Palmer have been pillars in the AGS and broader meteorology community for more than two decades, and their leadership ensures that the college and the NWC remain in capable hands as we navigate the path ahead.
