The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility will co-host a student workshop with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BOM), and a consortium of Australian universities from February 2 to 7, 2025, in Tasmania, Australia. The workshop will focus on open science around ARM’s ongoing Cloud And Precipitation Experiment at kennaook (CAPE-k).
Applications are now being accepted for the student workshop, and ARM will sponsor attendance for a few participants.
The curriculum is targeted at students from undergraduates currently engaged in research projects to PhD students. Planned activities include instructional talks, tutorials, and mentored hackathon sessions for attendees to work with ARM data and open-source software.
The overarching mission of the student workshop is to enhance the scientific impact of ARM observations through the instruction of students in new techniques to gain insight into atmospheric processes using open science tools.
Objectives of the student workshop are to:
- increase knowledge about the range of ARM and CSIRO/BOM observations, demonstrate innovative and methodologically sound use of those observations, and connect students to a variety of knowledgeable resources (e.g., ARM instrument mentors)
- introduce students to resources within ARM for high performance data-proximate computation
- equip students with a variety of techniques for analyzing observations from the kennaook / Cape Grim field site
- enable students to work in small groups on projects answering questions related to atmospheric and climate science using both long-term measurements (CSIRO/BOM) and case studies based on recent events (ARM).
The student workshop is free to accepted applicants; there is no registration fee. The application questions and rubric used to select students will reflect the student workshop’s overall mission and objectives, outlined above.
Key Dates
- The application period closes November 1, 2024.
- Students will be informed of acceptance decisions by November 8, 2024.
