Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions (CEDAR) Workshop, 2023-2024

该奖项将支持2023年和2024年的年度Cedar(大气区域耦合、能量学和动力学)研讨会。讲习班通过促进不同职业阶段的地面、天基和建模专家之间的合作，促进地球空间科学的进步。一年一度的研讨会是学生们在雪松社区内建立网络的首要会议。该研讨会通过每年支持本科生和研究生参加研讨会，从而获得接触和参与研究，从而确保行业的健康状况。自1990年以来，NSF每年赞助超过75名学生参加研讨会。设立了一个环境与发展部工作队，以确保讲习班各方面工作的多样性、公平性和包容性。这个一年一度的研讨会的教育效益是可观的，是值得骄傲的。通过雪松科学YouTube频道在线提供的讲座、教程和课程的录音，可以获得进一步的教育培训。新的Cedar网站向利益相关者代表Cedar社区，并通过提供指向所有教程、有奖讲座和杰出讲座的录音的链接来服务于Cedar社区。Cedar网站包括报告、个人研讨会演示文稿和海报PDF，以及关于Cedar科学、Cedar社区整体、专门为学生提供的机会以及Cedar多样性、公平和包容性努力的信息。Cedar研讨会通过其独特的方法实现了促进地球科学、确保行业健康和促进多样性、公平和包容性的目标。雪松研讨会由雪松科学指导委员会(CSSC)指导。CSSC定期检查社区科学进展和方向，并及时向研讨会组织者提供信息。研讨会包括学生日、社区组织的全体会议以及盛大的挑战会议、学生海报竞赛的海报会议、科学亮点的全体会议、机构最新情况、教程、一场杰出的讲座和一场有奖讲座。全体会议的演讲者是通过CSSC议程规划程序确定和招募的，该程序根据代表雪松科学广度的候选人来评估理想的候选人，并根据优秀素质、教育职业目标、对整体会议经验的潜在贡献以及他们对多样化、公平和包容性研讨会环境的承诺来挑选发言者。这些全体会议的发言被记录下来，并可在Cedar网站上供公众查阅。Cedar网站、电子邮件列表服务器和Cedar Slak频道为社区提供了交流平台。海报会议是学生与雪松参与者分享、讨论和接收他们的研究反馈的主要场所。学生海报大赛由CSSC组织。学生日活动是由学生代表带头和组织的，学生的意见也是如此。雪松工作坊通过以下方式促进多样性、公平和包容性：授予受抚养人关怀补助金，重点关注学生和早期职业科学家；提供学生旅行支持；将学生作为个人工作坊的联合召集人；在全体会议上通过以Dei为中心的演讲学习和促进讨论；以及在个别Dei工作坊提供讨论平台。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award will support an annual CEDAR (Coupling, Energetics and Dynamics of Atmospheric Regions) workshop for 2023 and 2024. The workshop promotes the progress of geospace science by fostering collaborations among experts in ground-, space-based and modeling at different career stages. The annual workshop is the premier meeting for students to network within the CEDAR community. The workshop ensures the health of the state of the profession by supporting undergraduate and graduate students to attend the workshop each year, and thus, to gain exposure and participate in research. Since 1990, more than 75 students per year have been sponsored by NSF to attend the workshop. A DEI task force is in place to ensure diversity, equity and inclusion in all aspects of the workshop. The educational benefits of this annual workshop are considerable and are a source of pride. Further educational training is available through recordings of the lectures, tutorials, and sessions available online on the CEDAR Science YouTube channel. The new CEDAR website represents the CEDAR community to stakeholders and serves the CEDAR community by providing links to all recordings of tutorials, prize lectures, and distinguished lectures. The CEDAR website includes reports, individual workshop presentations, and poster PDFs, as well as information about CEDAR science, the CEDAR community at large, opportunities specifically for students, and the CEDAR Diversity, Equity, and Inclusions efforts.The CEDAR workshop achieves its goal of promoting geoscience, ensuring the health of the state of the profession, and fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion through its unique approaches. The CEDAR workshop is under the guidance of the CEDAR Science Steering Committee (CSSC). The CSSC periodically checks on the community science progress and direction and provides timely input to the workshop organizer. The workshop includes a student day, community-organized plenary sessions as well as grand challenge sessions, poster sessions with a student poster competition, plenary sessions with science highlights, agency updates, tutorials, a distinguished lecture, and a prize lecture. The plenary session speakers are identified and recruited through the CSSC agenda planning process that evaluates the ideal candidates based on their representing the breadth of CEDAR science and are selected based on the qualities of merit, educational career objectives, potential contribution to the overall conference experience as well as to their commitment to a diverse, equitable and inclusive workshop environment. These plenary session presentations are recorded and available on the CEDAR website for public access. The CEDAR website, email list server, and the CEDAR slack channel provide communication platforms for the community. The poster session is a prime venue for the students to share, discuss and receive feedback on their research with CEDAR participants. The student poster competition is organized by the CSSC. The Student Day activities are spearheaded and organized by student reps with inputs from the students. The CEDAR workshop fosters diversity, equity, and inclusion by awarding dependent care grants with a focus on student and early career scientists, by providing student travel support, by including students as co-conveners in individual workshops, by learning and fostering discussion via a DEI-centered talk in the plenary session, and by providing a discussion platform at the individual DEI workshop.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.
