August 2003
Broadening DLESE
The Digital Library for Earth System Education (DLESE) is a community-centered resource for people interested in learning about Earth Science. The 2003 annual meeting in Boulder focused on "Broadening DLESE." Specific goals were to develop strategies to: 1) Expand the users and contributors to DLESE; 2) Facilitate efforts to develop earth science data/tools for educational use; 3) Expand DLESE's collection of earth science educational materials; and 4) Strengthen ties between research and educational practice, evaluation and assessment.
March 2003
Assessing Global Glacier Recession
A three-day workshop was convened by CIRES' National Snow and Ice Data Center
[ About NSIDC ]
, with the aim of evaluating current methods of determining the worldwide recession of mountain glaciers over the last half-century or longer. This workshop brought together experts from leading groups, as well as under-represented young and female scientists from North America and elsewhere. Twenty-four selected individuals from Australia, Canada, Chile, China, France, India, Norway, Switzerland, Russia, and the United States were funded, and the workshop was open to other interested individuals by invitation.
February 2003
Planetary Metabolism Symposium: Environmental Responses to Anthropogenic Perturbations
In February 2003, the planetary metabolism theme group hosted a symposium on the environmental responses to anthropogenic perturbations. Speakers from CIRES discussed a variety of topics, including global climate change, air quality, aquatic ecosystems, and government responses to extreme weather events. The Planetary Metabolism Symposium attracted over 100 attendees, including scientists from CU and NOAA, graduate students, and post-docs, as well as members of the public.
November 2002
International Year of the Mountain Conference: Ecosystems to Earthquakes
The International Year of the Mountain Conference, which highlighted CIRES' mountain research efforts, featured a broad cross section of mountain researchers, anthropologists, and adventurers. The conference was open to the general public and was received with enthusiasm.
September 2003
CIRES 35th Anniversary
CIRES celebrated 35 years of pacesetting research in a broad range of environmental topics.
August 2002
Superficial Earth Symposium
In August 2002, the geodynamics theme group hosted a 2-day symposium to discuss long wavelength topography associated with elastic and inelastic processes in the lithosphere. The Superficial Earth symposium covered topics focused on the elastic thickness controversy and attracted presenters and attendees from around the nation.
June 2002
Third International Workshop on Multiangular Measurements and Models
Themes for the "IWMMM-3" workshop included the contributions of multiangular data and the evaluation of radiative transfer models and inversion methods.
September 1998
Fourth International Symposium on Tropospheric Profiling: Needs And Technologies
"Advances in atmospheric measurement and numerical modeling techniques have fostered both improved understanding and forecasting of atmospheric behavior in the troposphere. This symposium will provide a critical evaluation of the needs of the user community and the benefits to be provided from improved tropospheric observation. It will also assess the adequacy of current and projected remote sensing and in-situ profiling techniques, such as radar, lidar, sodar, radiometers, and balloon-borne or aircraft instrumentation."
