FDSS Track 1: Integrating Research and Education in Magnetosphere-Ionosphere-Atmosphere Coupling at Clemson University

在地球空间科学（FDSS）的机会教师发展的目的是整合地球空间科学-包括太阳和空间物理学和空间天气研究-到自然科学，工程或相关部门在美国高等教育机构，并刺激本科或研究生课程或课程的发展，能够培养下一代地球空间科学的领导者。克莱姆森大学将在物理和天文学系设立一个FDSS终身职位。新的FDSS雇用的重点是磁层电离层大气耦合的研究和教育的整合。科学目标是更全面地了解支配地球大气层最上层空间气象条件的物理过程。更广泛的影响包括在一个对技术社会越来越重要的领域教育下一代领导人。通过新的课程和利用现有的推广计划，新员工将大大提高大学的能力，使公众参与空间天气，特别是与K-12学生从服务不足和代表性不足的群体，首先，要加强。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识产权进行评估来支持。优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。

The Faculty Development in geoSpace Science (FDSS) opportunity aims to integrate geospace science--to includes solar and space physics and space weather research--into natural sciences, engineering or related departments at U.S. institutions of higher education and stimulate the development of undergraduate or graduate programs or curricula capable of training the next generation of leaders in geospace science. Clemson University will create an FDSS tenure-track position in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The focus for the new FDSS hire is on the integration of research and education in magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere coupling. The scientific objectives are to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the physical processes that govern the prevailing space weather conditions in the uppermost reaches of Earth’s atmosphere. Broader impacts include educating the next generation of leaders in a field of increasing importance for a technological society. Through new courses and by leveraging existing outreach programs, the new hire will significantly increase the university’s ability to engage the public in space weather, particularly with K-12 students from underserved and underrepresented groups, and strengthen first-generation undergraduate student engagement in space sciences.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.
