Madeleine Renom Molina (born February 22, 1969, in Montevideo) is a Uruguayan teacher, researcher and meteorologist. She was the first Graduate in Meteorological Sciences from the University of the Republic. Renom specialized in the University of Buenos Aires obtaining her doctorate in Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences. Renom is a professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences of the Physics Institute of the Faculty of Sciences, and a researcher at the PEDECIBA-Geosciences and level I researcher of the National System of Researchers of the ANII.[1] She was the Director of the Uruguayan Institute of Meteorology (INUMET)[2] up until July 15, 2020.[3][4]

Career[edit]

Madeleine Renom started a Bachelor's degree in Meteorological Sciences in 1990 at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of the Republic in Uruguay.[1] Between 2004 and 2009 she obtained a doctorate in Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina, tutored by Dr. Matilde Mónica Rusticucci, with the work titled Temperaturas extremas en Uruguay. Análisis de la variabilidad temporal de baja frecuencia y su relación con la circulación de gran escala [Extremes temperatures in Uruguay. Analysis of low frequency temporal variability and its relationship with large-scale circulation].[5]

Renom's work focuses on climatology, climate variability, climate change and extreme climate events.[6][7] Her main interest lies in understanding how extreme weather events happen, to be able to predict the event itself as well as its social and economic impacts.[6] Renom has published scientific articles in peer-reviewed journals and has presented over 20 papers presented at national and international scientific events.[citation needed] She has also worked as a teacher, directing undergraduate, master's and doctoral theses;[citation needed] Renom is known for encouraging women to pursue atmospheric science degrees.[2]

She is a professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences of the Institute of Physics of the Faculty of Sciences, where she has been an Adjunct Professor since 2010.[8] In addition, she is a Level 3 researcher of the Program for the Development of Basic Sciences (PEDECIBA) of Geosciences of the Uruguay.[2] Renom is also categorized as a Level 1 Researcher of the National System of Researchers of the National Research and Innovation Agency (SNI, ANII, Uruguay).[citation needed]

In 2016, Renom became the Director of INUMET with the aim of perfecting the technical aspects of monitoring the atmosphere and weather and climate forecasts.[9] It was the first time the position of presidency was held by a person trained in meteorology.[10] She resigned from her position as Director on 15 July 2020, citing a lack of governmental support[3][4]

Scientific communication[edit]

Renom has been contacted by different national press media (written, radio and television) to talk about Atmospheric Science topics.[11][12][13][14] One subject she is asked about is the Tornado de Dolores of 2016, the most extreme climatic event in recent years in Uruguay.[15]

Awards[edit]

2014 - winner together with Dr. Marcelo Barreiro of the Golden Citizen Award from the Latin American Center for Development (CELADE).[16]
