Applications are invited for the position of the Williams Chair in Meteorology at the School of Meteorology of the College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences at the University of Oklahoma.
The Department of Meteorology and Climate Science at San José State University will sponsor a Unidata Regional Workshop March 14-15, 2013. The workshop will focus on how large datasets are accessed, organized, and interpreted under the use of free-and-open sharing of Earth System data.
For many years, the Unidata program has been active in helping university departments deploy and use Unidata technologies. Through our governing committees (which are composed of faculty and staff from member universities), we've learned a lot about the current state of information technology support in geoscience departments today. In hopes of learning more about the evolving university IT landscape in today's budget-constrained environment, we are hoping other members of Unidata's university community will spend a few minutes to give us some insight into how information technology support works in your departments.
The Unidata program and the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) have a long history of collaboration and cooperation to serve the needs of Unidata community members. Now, the SSEC Data Center, which provides access to and distribution of real-time and archive weather satellite data, is beginning a new program to make limited amounts of archive satellite data available to Unidata's academic community members at no cost.
