This project seeks to expand the reach of the atmospheric science education research community beyond the traditional classroom setting while also increasing awareness of potential student learning opportunities within field campaigns; potentially identifying paths to integrating student learning into atmospheric science field campaigns in a way that will lead to improved integration of early-career training in field campaigns while supporting the science goals of the campaign. Student participation in field campaigns is widely acknowledged as an important part of atmospheric science education and training programs.
Our NSF-supported REU offers paid summer undergraduate research internships at Colorado State University in the Department of Atmospheric Science. Interns participate in a 10 week program from early June through early August. This is an exciting research opportunity in beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado. Join world-class atmospheric scientists investigating the science of clouds, climate and climate change, weather, and modeling. During our program interns have the opportunity to attend scientific seminars, visit national scientific laboratories, and participate in a variety of professional development training.

Gender diverse teams are essential for excellent science. PROmoting Geoscience Research, Education, and SuccesS (PROGRESS) is a highly successful role modeling and mentoring program aimed at supporting college women interested in the geosciences.

A primary goal of the project is to improve workplace climate conditions by developing bystander intervention education for department heads, chairs, faculty and grad students to appropriately respond to and prevent harassment, bullying and other exclusionary behaviors in research environments. https://serc.carleton.edu/advancegeo/index.html
