Announcing a new eLearning module available now on Unidata eLearning: Machine Learning Foundations in the Earth Systems Sciences. This no-code module is designed to guide you through the very basics of supervised machine learning in the Earth Systems Sciences. You will discover how machine learning is currently being used by scientists, examine the process for supervised machine learning model development, explore how data plays a crucial role in making good predictions, and how to be an effective and ethical user of machine learning tools. You will also learn that machine learning is not a catch-all solution to every problem!

NSF Unidata is governed by its community. Our Strategic Advisory and Users committees facilitate consensus-building for future directions of the NSF Unidata Program and establish standards of involvement for the community. Direct involvement in the Program by the academic community helps NSF Unidata stay on top of trends in Earth Systems Science education and research; for example, recent initiatives on Python and cloud-based computing have benefited tremendously from committee advice and involvement.

The Department of Earth System Science (ESS) within the School of Physical Sciences at The University of California, Irvine (UCI), is seeking candidates for two positions.

The Department of Geography and Meteorology at Valparaiso University is searching for a tenure-track assistant professor in the area of Meteorology.

The Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte is searching for a tenure-track assistant professor in the area of Atmospheric Sciences.

The Department of Atmospheric and Environment Sciences at The University at Albany is searching for a tenure-track assistant professor in area of Extreme Weather Systems.

The Unidata Program Center is pleased to welcome new members to the program's governing committees. Committee members serve three-year terms, meeting twice each year to provide feedback on the effectiveness of the Unidata Program and advise staff on issues facing the university community. Appointments reflect the range of large and small colleges and universities with undergraduate and graduate emphases where Unidata systems are in use.

Read on for a brief introduction to the scientists joining Unidata's committees.

We are looking for creative people at U.S. universities and colleges who are using Unidata products and services — or who are familiar with Unidata — to help guide the program in addressing the needs of our broadening community. We need the insights of active educators and researchers to spot new opportunities and take advantage of the expanding range of scientific data. We're looking for help identifying new tools and services — along with improvements to our existing offerings — that will advance the scientific and educational goals of the community.

As a reminder, there's still time to nominate someone for the 2023 Russell L. DeSouza award! Nominations are due by March 15th.

The Unidata Users Committee invites you to submit nominations for the Russell L. DeSouza Award for Outstanding Community Service. This Community Service Award honors individuals whose energy, expertise, and active involvement enable the Unidata Program to better serve the geosciences. Honorees personify Unidata's ideal of a community that shares ideas, data, and software through computing and networking technologies.

Do you know someone in the Unidata community who has been actively involved and helpful to you and other Unidata members? Perhaps this is someone who volunteers to assist others, contributes software, or makes suggestions that are generally useful for the community.
