Special Welcome to Early-Career Scientists
This year’s theme is shaping up to be an exciting and informative event for students and early career scientists as our program focuses on familiarizing new users with NSF facilities (at NCAR, Colorado State University, the University of Wyoming and the Center for Severe Weather Research) and personnel. Our goal is make requesting facilities for your first field campaign easy and more accessible than ever before. Keynote presentations by Eric Barron, Howie Bluestein, Guy Brasseur, and Tom Karl promise to challenge participants to think about the next generation of observational facilities.
Highlights
- In-depth tours of NSF Observational Facilities;
- Veteran scientist, Bruce Albrecht from the University of Miami, and an early career scientist, Jennifer Haase from Purdue University will demystify the facility request process and share their insights on planning a “small” field campaign;
- Steve Nesbitt and Jennifer Haase from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Purdue University will present their teaching projects using the MGAUS in an educational setting as an example of a successful education request
- NSF/NCAR G-V Chief Scientist Al Cooper of NCAR will present a brownbag discussion of the status and future plans for the research aircraft;
- Steve Rutledge (CSU) will present another brownbag discussion on the proposed CHILL/S-Pol Integrated Radar Facility that will be made available to the community in the near future;
- Mohan Ramamurthy (Director, Unidata) will make a presentation on “Data Visualization”;
- Jeff Stith, Manager of the Research Aviation Facility, and Jim Moore, Project Manager for EOL’s Field Project Services will discuss the changing nature of field campaigns as technology allows us to pursue global deployments with multiple, international operations centers.
