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.
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.
The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) invites you to participate in a webinar to learn about the 2016 National Water Center (NWC) Summer Institute. The Summer Institute will take place at the University of Alabama and NOAA's National Water Center from June 6 - July 20, 2016; it is a seven week period of intense collaboration at the NWC that is open to incoming and current students, as well as, post-docs.
The webinar, held on March 2nd at 4pm EST and hosted by David Maidment of the University of Texas, will provide an overview of the program and the corresponding opportunities for students as well as answer any questions.
The Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science, Inc. (CUAHSI) is soliciting applications from students who wish to participate in the 2016 National Water Center (NWC) Summer Institute under the auspices of the NWC's Innovator's Program. The Summer Institute will take place at the University of Alabama and NOAA's National Water Center from June 6 - July 20, 2016. The Summer Institute will be led by faculty theme leads and daily oversight will be provided by post-doctoral fellow course coordinators. Following the Summer Institute, students will be selected and invited to attend the CUAHSI Biennial Meeting July 25-27, 2016 to present their work during a special session.
Unidata offers equipment grants to support a variety of projects
Just a reminder that the 2016 Unidata Community Equipment Awards solicitation is open for new proposals through March 25, 2016. If you're looking for equipment (physical hardware or cloud-based services) to get your Unidata technology project off the ground, we encourage you to submit a proposal.
Created under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation, Unidata equipment awards are intended to encourage new members from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the geosciences to join the Unidata community, and to encourage existing members to continue their active participation, enhancing the community process. For 2016, a total of $100,000 is available for awards; proposals for amounts up to $20,000 will be considered.
As a community-governed program, Unidata depends on guidance and feedback from educators, researchers, and students in the atmospheric and related sciences. The Unidata Community Survey seeks your feedback both on existing Unidata services and possible future directions for the program. Your ideas will help inform Unidata's path forward; your participation is much appreciated.
If you've already responded, thank you for providing your input. If you haven't responded yet, there's still time to do so!
