> This year the Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling (CISM)
> Summer School will be held at Boston University, July 18 – July 29,
> 2011. The two-week school will closely follow the model of the
> previous successful Summer Schools, which comprehensively immersed
> students in the subject of space weather, what it is, what it does,
> and what can be done about it. The CISM summer school supplements
> standard curricula relating to the physics, “meteorology”, and
> “climatology” of space with integrated overviews of the
> solar-terrestrial weather system from the Sun to the earth, its
> effects and consequences, and the state of the art in modeling it. A
> unique feature of the school is a series of three-hour computer labs
> where students use visualizations of computer model results being
> developed by CISM, along with data to understand the space environment
> and to make space weather predictions. The team of instructors will be
> led by Jeffrey Hughes (BU), and include experts from various
> institutions such as UCAR/HAO, SWPC and AFRL.
>
> The school is intended primarily for students about to enter graduate
> school in the space sciences or early in their graduate careers. We
> encourage supervisors to recommend the school to their prospective or
> current students. However others with a professional interest in space
> weather have also attended and benefited from earlier schools. Further
> details and the application form (available beginning in March of
> 2011), including a request for financial support, can be found under
> Summer School on the CISM web site at http://www.bu.edu/CISM/.
> Applications are due by May 1. CISM is an NSF Science and Technology
> Center.
