Workshops & Colloquia
For scientists and professionals
Junior Faculty Forum on
Future Scientific Directions
NCAR Advanced Study Program and Early Career Scientists
Assembly
This annual summer gathering brings together junior faculty and early career
scientists at NCAR for three days to discuss selected topics in the geosciences.
Open to nontenured faculty at U.S. universities with preference given to those
within five years of their first professorial academic appointment. Topic proposals
are solicited several months in advance.
Community Climate System Model
- CCSM Annual Workshop
CCSM Steering Committee
The annual CCSM workshop features meetings and presentations involving the
component working groups during three summer days in Breckenridge, Colorado.
Live webcasts, when available, enable remote participants to attend.
GPS Meteorology and Ionospheric
Science - COSMIC Meetings and Workshops
UCAR Constellation Observing System for Meteorology,
Ionosphere and Climate
COSMIC organizes annual science meetings, data users' workshops, and student
gatherings in the United States and internationally to share results and plan
collaborations based on COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 satellite data as well as ground-based
GPS projects. Researchers also host events during meetings of the professional
societies. Check the COSMIC website for upcoming professional and student
opportunities.
Observing the Atmosphere
- Facilities Workshops
NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory
EOL hosts a variety of workshops for the university atmospheric and geosciences
community, including the NSF Facilities Users' Workshop, the International
Symposium on Tropospheric Profiling, the AVAPS Dropsonde Users Group Workshop,
and more. Check EOL's workshop website for upcoming opportunities.
Unidata Training and Users Workshops
Unidata Program Center
These workshops help
expand and support the use of streaming geoscience data in classrooms
and research labs. Software training workshops focus on Unidata's
data management, display, and analysis tools. The annual users workshop introduces
new topics, such as operational and experimental observations in geoscience
education. Check Unidata's events
website for upcoming workshops.
Weather Research and
Forecasting Model - Annual WRF Users' Workshop
WRF Workshop Planning Committee
This weeklong summer meeting in Boulder focuses on WRF model development and
testing. The call for papers typically includes topics such as model numerics
and physics, model verification, regional climate, hurricanes and other high-impact
weather, data assimilation, ensemble forecasting, and atmospheric chemistry.
For graduate students
Atmospheric and Earth system science- Discover emerging topics that haven't yet reached the classroom
- Interact with leading experts and fellow students in an intimate setting
ASP Summer
Colloquia
NCAR Advanced Study Program
Young scientists gather at NCAR for workshops on current topics in atmospheric
and environmental science. Recent topics have included atmospheric chemistry,
clouds and climate, solar and astrophysical magnetohydrodynamics, and hurricanes
at landfall.

- Explore the fundamental plasma physics behind many aspects of space weather
- Help develop heliophysics as a discipline to be taught at universities around the world
Summer School
for Heliophysics
UCAR Visiting Scientist Programs & NASA
For graduate students in any phase of training who plan to pursue a career
in heliophysics or astrophysics. First- or second-year postdoctoral fellows
are also invited to apply. In 2009 the focus of this one-week session
is on long-term processes, from the Sun’s modulated activity to its influences
on the climate systems of the heliosphere, Earth’s atmosphere, and planetary
environments.

FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC
Workshops
UCAR, National Science Foundation, and partners
An
opportunity for students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents to attend
and participate in student sessions during Taiwan-hosted conferences. FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC
is a joint U.S.-Taiwan mission providing a constellation of six
microsatellites for GPS meteorology and Earth system observation.
