CIRES Teaching/Faculty

CIRES has university partners in academic departments, academic programs, and university research institutes and centers. Faculty in research divisions teach in these university units, with teaching loads equivalent to those of the faculty rostered solely in the departments and programs. New courses have been developed by CIRES affiliated faculty that reflect the diversity of CIRES research programs, including courses in complex systems, ocean-atmosphere coupling, land-atmosphere coupling, hydrology, geophysical data analysis, remote sensing, and science policy. Several NOAA scientists and CIRES scientists also participate in the teaching programs at the university through classroom instruction, supervision of graduate student research projects, and participation in graduate student thesis committees. This coupling of research and education is highly valued within the Institute and contributions are recognized as part of the annual evaluation process.
