From mullally at ucar.edu Tue Jan 2 14:53:26 2024 From: mullally at ucar.edu (Dawn Mullally) Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2024 14:53:26 -0700 Subject: [Grad-postdoc-assn] NOAA Explorer-In-Training Internship Opportunity Message-ID: Hi Folks, I just wanted to share this opportunity for any students you may know. It is a really unique internship, with some taking place onboard the NOAA *Okeanos* ship which is the only federally funded ship utilized exclusively for ocean exploration. Since 2009, NOAA Ocean Exploration and CPAESS/UCAR have hosted over 170 Explorers-in-Training . The program equips participants with skills to meet the current and future demands of the ocean exploration workforce, providing meaningful experiential learning opportunities that support NOAA Ocean Exploration?s mission and inspire ocean literacy for the next generation. The program features two internship options: (a) 2 to 4-week expedition-based opportunities and (b) 10-week summertime opportunities. The 10-week internships give students an opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge through long-term projects supported by NOAA Ocean Exploration mentors. The 2 to 4-week expedition-based internships involve participation in specific NOAA Ocean Exploration-supported expeditions, giving participants the chance to contribute to mission efforts while gaining tangible skills that can benefit their future pursuits. For 2024, both 10-week summer internships and 2 to 4-week expedition-based opportunities will be available. [image: Screenshot 2024-01-02 at 2.50.51?PM.png] The Explorer-in-Training Program offers multiple internship themes to reflect NOAA Ocean Exploration?s diverse expertise, work products, and services. These themes are designed to be interdisciplinary and reflect the office?s main focus areas while providing training in critical ocean exploration mission fields. *Find out more about this unique opportunity here . * *The deadline to apply is January 31, 2024.* -- *I acknowledge and honor the Cheyenne, Ute, and Arapaho Tribes, and their land upon which UCAR | NCAR stands.

In case you are considering teaching in your next steps, it helps to read up on good practices. That gives you something to think about in the meantime, and will better prepare you for an interview. Here are some interesting items in the Chronicle of Higher Education.

Or, if you no longer want to receive this newsletter, unsubscribe . This week I: Share some of the big questions Beth and I are pondering. Point you toward resources to help prepare for the new term. Link to some recent articles you may have missed. 3 questions we?re tracking in the new year Will colleges provide more-robust support on generative AI? Professors would like more help in setting policies and designing coursework around ChatGPT and similar artificial-intelligence tools. That was one of the clearest takeaways from your responses to a Google Form we circulated as an informal survey last fall. Specifically, professors would like a collegewide policy so that students can expect more consistency from course to course; a better handle on how to determine if students have used the tools in ways barred by policy; and more resources to improve their own understanding of the tools. ADVERTISEMENT So will colleges ? or individual departments ? deliver? What will their policies look like? And will they be able to keep up with a quickly evolving technology? How will professors address the Israel-Hamas war in the classroom? Americans may seem to hold polarized and unwavering opinions about darn near everything. Reactions to the war in Gaza stand out not because we?re divided but because the divisions look different than usual, throwing everyone from individual families to political parties for a loop. There?s an argument to be made that the college classroom is uniquely suited to grappling with complicated world events. So how will professors teach about the conflict this term? And how will their students respond? What?s going on with student behavior? Last fall some professors hit significant challenges with student behavior, while others found that the worst of the remote-instruction recalibration seemed to be behind them. Both of those experiences, of course, can be playing out in different classrooms at the same time. But we wonder if one or the other will become more dominant in the coming year. And if some portion of the student body continues to struggle to adapt to college norms, what then? Will colleges provide more support? Will those norms continue to shift? And how will professors make sense of it? Have insight to share on any of the above? We would love to hear it: Write to me, at beckie.supiano at chronicle.com . Are there other big teaching questions on your mind as you prepare for a new term? I?d love to hear those, too.

Apply Now! for the 2024 NASA Heliophysics Summer School UCAR Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS) is now accepting applications for this unique summer school focusing on the physics of space weather events that start at the Sun and influence atmospheres, ionospheres, and magnetospheres throughout the solar system. This year?s theme is Comparative Heliophysics. During the 2024 Summer School, participants will explore how similar concepts and principles of heliophysics apply under different conditions. The summer school will focus on universal processes in heliophysics such as dynamos, plasma flows, magnetic reconnection, and particle acceleration. Examples of these processes in action will include the dynamics and evolution of the Sun and other stars, solar and stellar atmospheres and winds, and planetary magnetospheres and ionospheres. The implications for planetary atmospheres and climate, planetary evolution, and exoplanetary habitability will be considered. Find Out More and Learn How to Apply by February 29, 2024.

The NOAA Science On a Sphere (SOS) program aims to help people understand the world around them. At the heart of the program are the Science On a Sphere and SOS Explorer technologies with their accompanying data catalogs. Science On a Sphere is a room-sized, global display system that projects visualizations of planetary data onto a six foot diameter sphere to help illustrate Earth System science to people of all ages and SOS Explorer is a flat-screen version that is available as a desktop application and a mobile app. The software comes to life when paired with the data catalog. The catalog contains over 600 dataset visualizations that include nearly 100 narrated movies and 50 real-time datasets. As part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, most of the catalog is related to Earth science topics, such as climate models, sea surface temperatures, weather, atmospheric chemistry, and tsunamis. There are also some datasets in the fields of astronomy, history, social science, public health, and more. The visualizations in our catalog are engaging, informative, and awe-inspiring.? > Global Distribution of Sites: Science On a Sphere and SOS Explorer can be found in hundreds of science museums, aquariums, zoos, schools and universities, visitor centers, government laboratories, and many more locations around the world, in addition to classrooms and people?s personal mobile devices. Millions of people see them every year and are a rich population for a research study.? > If you are interested, please contact Anne Gold (anne.u.gold at colorado.edu) to discuss your research idea(s).

Improving the representation of atmospheric or oceanic processes in climate predictions, advancing the theory, observations, and models needed to develop and evaluate these predictions, and improving our ability to observe and understand the impacts of ongoing climate change are necessary to advance stakeholder-relevant climate science. We seek an atmospheric or oceanic scientist whose research will advance climate science and who is motivated by the need to address the wide-ranging and disproportionate impacts of climate change on society.
