Description
A five-day workshop is planned on the use of meteorological satellite
remote sensing data as an information source for atmospheric and related
scientific education and research. The workshop will demonstrate creative
applications of satellite data for multi-media and computer-based teaching
in atmospheric and environmental sciences. Invited speakers will make
presentations on satellite-related research and teaching activities,
remote sensing information resources, educational design principles and
instructional technology. The workshop will also include group discussions
on specific aspects of instructional design, and computer-based activities
for development of instructional resources related to meteorological
satellite data.
Organization
The Workshop Committee, co-chaired by Dr. Melanie Wetzel (Desert Research
Institute) and Dr. Dave Dempsey (San Francisco State University), is
composed of the Unidata Users Committee, COMET, and Unidata. The workshop
is being offered by the UCAR Unidata and COMET Programs in Boulder,
Colorado at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (Foothills
Laboratory). Lodging accommodations (double occupancy) will be in
Williams Village Towers on the University of Colorado campus.
Participants and Support
Any college or university faculty member with an interest in satellite
meteorology is invited to attend. An attendance limit of 100 has been
established; thus acceptance may be limited to one or two faculty members
per institution. Attendees must provide and arrange for their own travel
to and from the conference, but lodging and meals will be available
without charge at the University of Colorado and UCAR locations. A small
honorarium ($100 or less) may be granted to participants if funding
permits.
Application Procedure
Complete the application form, and send a
letter of application, including a statement of your interest in the
workshop topic and, a description of your prior use of Unidata or other
satellite information sources or software. Please include a 2-page vitae.
