CREST was invited to participate in the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) Annual Members Meeting held from October 10 to October 11, 2023 in Boulder, CO.
The purpose of this meeting was to encourage discussions from UCAR member representatives around important topics for the university as well as have them provide inputs and guidance to UCAR and National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). It helped members network and learn through workshops, panels, breakout sessions on various topics such as ‘data-centric science to improve community models, importance of diversity in Earth System Science etc.’
Reps from university members and Early Career Guests came to hear the latest updates from NCAR and NCAR Community Programs (UCP) and to vote for trustees, governance committee members, and university memberships. During the meeting, members toured NCAR Mesa Lab Visitor Center which is a pioneering hub for atmospheric research. Also, Dr. Khanbilvardi was elected to be a new member of the UCAR President Advisory Committee on University Relations (PACUR).
