Calling all early career scientists! We want you, we want you, we want you to judge for OSPA. For further information, please see the following information about OSPA – “This Fall Meeting, we have 473 students presenting who are seeking feedback, which means we need volunteers to fill more than 1,400 judging opportunities. This 5-minute video will show you how to sign up and provide feedback to students. If you are attending the meeting virtually or in person, would you please consider registering via the OSPA website to judge at least three posters or presentations ? Please do not hesitate to contact Shannon, Ross, or Olga ...

Early career scientists - the AGU Atmospheric Science Early Career Committee and Hydrology Section Student Subcommittee are hosting an informal discussion of how to improve fieldwork culture on Tuesday, June 29th from 4:30-5:30PM ET. We will introduce tools and steps that the individual can take to be active allies during field campaigns, and practice applying those tools to real-life scenarios that have occurred in the field. Conducting field work can be a once-in-a-lifetime, formative experience for students and early career atmospheric scientists. Unfortunately, it is also where verbal and physical harassment and discrimination are experienced, particularly ...

Ph.D. Research Assistantships in climate and agricultural modeling in the Atmospheric Science Graduate Program at Rutgers University The Rutgers Impact Studies of Climate Intervention (RISCI) lab seeks three motivated students to work on our projects to study the impacts of anthropogenic stratospheric aerosols on climate. We are studying proposed climate intervention with sulfate aerosols, and the impacts of soot that would be generated by fires in cities and industrial regions as a result of nuclear war. The work is funded by the National Science Foundation , the Open Philanthropy Project , and SilverLining . For more details, visit https://sites.rutgers.edu/risci-lab/research-assistantships/ ...

Dear colleagues, We are pleased to announce an upcoming special issue in the journal Remote Sensing of Environment (IF=8.2) entitled "Remote sensing of greenhouse gas emissions". The submission deadline is 31 Dec. 2020. Please let us know if you plan on submitting. Additional details are provided below and are available here: https://www.journals.elsevier.com/remote-sensing-of-environment/call-for-papers/mapping-greenhouse-gas Scope The ability to map greenhouse gas emissions using remote sensing technologies has proven particularly useful in identifying individual point sources, quantifying emission rates, and attributing these to emission ...

Please find the following message from Alan Stern, Chief Science Officer and a co-founder of World View, a high altitude research and commercial applications ballooning company based in Tucson. "Stratollites are high-altitude solar-powered platforms that can support several of the focus areas of NASA’s Earth Venture Mission (EVM) 3 program via payload TRL raising for risk reduction and/or by providing measurements with adjunct calibration or science measurements to augment EVM-3 satellites. Stratollites use lift, ballast, and winds at different altitudes to control trajectory and to loiter in areas of interest. Stratollites can carry up to 100 kg and 300W ...

AS is committed to increasing the number of nominations from our community for both Section Honors and Union Awards and Medals. We are especially driven to greatly increase nominations of underrepresented scientists. AS has thus formed a canvassing committee to help realize these goals. This committee will not write or review nominations; rather, its purpose is to: (1) identify worthy candidates, and (2) find people to nominate those worthy candidates. In so doing, we will increase the nominations of AS members for AGU awards, and also make progress in addressing demographic inequities. If you have suggestions of colleagues you feel are deserving of AGU recognition ...
