2022 Cooperative Research Programs (CoRP) Science Symposium
24 August 2022 - 2022 Cooperative Research
Programs (CoRP) Science Symposium: This year's CoRP Science Symposium was
held at CIRA, Fort Collins, Colorado, from 25-27 July 2022. The Symposium
had 68 participants from NOAA/NESDIS, NESDIS Cooperative Institutes (CI),
and CI-affiliated students, postdocs, and junior scientists. The Symposium
is part of a larger strategy to promote federal and academic partnerships/
collaborations.
This year's Symposium
focused on building stronger connections between NOAA's Cooperative
Institutes and Cooperative Science Center (CSC) faculty and students to
promote a more diverse NOAA workforce in the future. Thirteen graduate
students gave oral presentations and eleven graduate students presented
posters about their research. All student presentations were of high
quality and were very well received. There were also NOAA NESDIS and CI
Leadership presentations and several career development and support
sessions, including small group social events, a workshop to develop a
support network, and two mentor panel discussions where panel members
talked about their career path experiences and answered student questions.
A Drone Center Activity on Tuesday afternoon offered the opportunity for
the participants to learn how to fly drones used by Colorado State
University to take atmospheric measurements that turned out to be a real
highlight. The Symposium ended at noon on Wednesday, July 27th, with
student awards handed out for the three Best Student Posters and three
Best Student Oral Presentations.
