<p class="MsoNormal">Dear CEDAR Community,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a reminder that applications for the 2025 Incoherent Scatter Radar (ISR) Summer School are due March 20, 2025 at the school website:
<a href="https://amisr.com/school">https://amisr.com/school</a><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 2025 ISR summer school will include a mandatory virtual session (via Zoom) on July 14, 2025 followed by the in-person school at University of Alaska (Fairbanks) July 20-26, 2025. The school’s goal is to train students in the theory
and concepts of incoherent scatter radar and allows for hands-on opportunities to design and run experiments at ISR facilities. This year’s school will focus on high-latitude / auroral observations using the Poker Flat ISR (PFISR) as a part of the NSF supported
Geospace Facility. ISRs are the most powerful ground-based tools for ionospheric remote sensing with high temporal and altitudinal resolution. ISR data sets include measurements of electron density, electron and ion temperatures, and plasma drifts, with the
possibility of further derived parameters.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We encourage graduate/advanced undergraduate students to apply for the school. Those candidates who are selected for the 2025 ISR summer school and are enrolled at U.S. universities/institutions will receive travel support and accommodation
to attend this event. Self-funded students from institutions outside the United States may also apply; however, they will not receive travel support if selected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The deadline for application submission is March 20, 2025. Notice of acceptance will be sent to participants by March 28, 2025.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ISR summer school is funded by the US National Science Foundation (NSF) through the Geospace Facilities Program within the Geosciences Directorate and is organized by the University of Central Florida.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
