REU Site: Student Training in Oceanography, Remote Sensing, and Meteorology (STORM)

为了解决地球面临的最紧迫的问题，未来的气候，天气和水资源企业和研究领导者必须在协作，多样化的团队环境中从太空，地面和海洋中应对地球观测的巨大多样性和复杂性。海洋学，遥感和气象学（STORM）REU的学生培训将通过在威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校为期10周的沉浸式夏季研究计划中培训30名学生（每年夏季10名）来支持这些领导者的发展。风暴学生将从REU准备解决气候，天气和水具有挑战性的问题，一套研究，技术和人际交往技能，跨干事业的成功至关重要。 学生将与教师和科学家合作，设计和制作海洋学，遥感和气象学的前沿研究，同时开发研究独立性所需的基础知识和技能，包括计算机编程，文献综述以及口头和海报演示。学生还将参加每周的专业发展和人际交往能力建设的机会，这将提供广度和背景的研究经验。 STORM是大气和海洋科学部（AOS）、纳尔逊研究所气候研究中心（CCR）、空间科学和工程中心（SSEC）以及气象卫星研究合作研究所（CIMSS）共同努力的结果。STORM旨在扩大未来的研究人员，并通过提供动手的学生参与，整合有意招聘和支持，以提高多样性，并解决关键的，与社会相关的研究问题，发展多元化的干劳动力。学生将获得专业发展，包括提高编码技能，探索他们的科学身份，讨论职业道路，科学交流技能，网络，自我宣传和讨论心理健康的重要性。 这个REU网站的目标是曝光，丰富和授权。 该网站旨在通过接触为本科生提供他们在STEM研究方面的第一次或接近第一次的经验，特别是在大气和海洋科学方面。 经验将通过促进一套研究，自我反思和人际交往能力的发展来丰富，这些技能将为本科生提供各种STEM职业道路。 REU网站旨在通过向每个本科生灌输自我意识，所有权和代理权，使他们能够更容易地导航STEM职业生涯，因为他们是。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响力审查标准进行评估的支持。

To solve the most pressing problems facing the planet, tomorrow’s leaders in climate, weather, and water enterprise and research must grapple with an enormous variety and complexity of Earth observations from space, on the ground, and in the ocean in collaborative, diverse team settings. The Student Training in Oceanography, Remote sensing and Meteorology (STORM) REU will support development of these leaders by training a total of 30 students (10 each summer) over three years in an immersive 10-week summer research program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. STORM students will emerge from the REU prepared to tackle challenging problems in climate, weather, and water with a set of research, technical, and interpersonal skills critical to success across STEM careers. Students will work with faculty and scientists to design and produce cutting-edge research in oceanography, remote sensing, and meteorology while developing the foundational knowledge and skills necessary for research independence, including computer programming, literature reviews, and oral and poster presentations. Students will also participate in weekly professional development and interpersonal skill-building opportunities that will provide breadth and context to the research experience. STORM is a collaborative effort among the co-located Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS), the Nelson Institute Center for Climatic Research (CCR), the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC), and the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS). STORM aims to expand the pool of future researchers and develop a diverse STEM workforce by providing hands-on student engagement, integrating intentional recruitment and support for improving diversity, and addressing critical, societally-relevant research questions. Students will receive professional development that includes improving coding skills, exploring their science identity, discussing career paths, skills for science communication, networking, self advocacy, and discussing the importance of mental health. The objectives of this REU site are exposure, enrichment, and empowerment. The site aims through exposure to provide undergraduate students with their first, or near-first, experience in STEM research, specifically in the atmospheric and oceanic sciences. The experience will be enriched by promoting the development of a set of research, self-reflection, and interpersonal skills that will serve undergraduate students in a variety of STEM careers paths. The REU site will aim for empowerment by instilling a sense of self-awareness, ownership and agency in each undergraduate student so that they can more readily navigate STEM careers as they are.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
