UCAR Communications is looking for lots of good visuals for the
UCAR/NCAR
Digital Image Library.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words, and the image
library helps explain what we do. In return, photographers
contributing to the library gain widespread exposure for their
work, since the visuals will be available to the public on the
Web.
Ideally, images in the library should depict the wide range of
UCAR science and activities: from atmospheric and solar phenomena,
pollution, clouds, research instruments, field projects, model
output, and education, to the Mesa Lab, Jeffco, Mauna Loa, and
their surroundings. Visuals can be in a range of media, including
photographs, animations, and videotapes.
Some examples of images we're looking for include:
- equipment used to sample the atmosphere over land and sea,
such as aircraft, sensors, and other observing tools
- winter storms, drought, tornadoes, hurricanes, flash floods,
lightning, and other earth-system phenomena and their impacts
- cars amid pollution
- image output from global models of the atmosphere
incorporating sea ice, vegetation, pollutants, and other parts of
the earth system
- radar and satellite images
- ocean scenes, especially waves and their impacts
- action shots of current staff working in labs and in the
field
These images will be used by UCAR staff, educators, and publishers
in presentations, Web sites, and publications. All people donating
images will be recognized on a credits page; UCAR becomes the
shared owner of the images in the collection. If you would like to
have your images included in the digital image library, please
contact me at (303) 497-8606,
razo@ucar.edu,
to discuss your collection.
