NOAA-ESRL-ISETCSC Workshop

The workshop of the NOAA NOAA Interdisciplinary Scientific Environmental Technology Cooperative Science Center (ISETCSC) principal investigators and NOAA -Boulder Earth System Research Laboratory Scientists was held in September 18-19 2007 and was attended by twenty four ISET PI's representing all partner institutions, including ten from NCA&T, and about the same number of NOAA scientists from the Earth System research laboratory in Boulder Colorado. The meeting was held at the NOAA-ESRL lab in Boulder. The meeting assessed the performance of the Center since its start, and the various breakout sessions helped develop more concrete collaborations between ESRL scientists and university researchers, that include faculty and student exchange, course module development, seminar speakers exchange, summer opportunity for students, student projects, other collaborations including joint proposals and publications.

Presentations by Thrust Area Leaders

The NOAA Interdisciplinary Scientific Environmental Technology Cooperative Science Center (ISETCSC) is led by North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University in collaboration with seven partners: North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina at Pembroke, The City College of the City of New York, University of Alaska Southeast, California State University-Fresno, Fisk University and University of Minnesota. This Center is part of NOAA’s Educational Partnership Program with Minority Serving Institutions. The Center is led by North Carolina A&T State University. Thirty-one scientists and engineers from seven academic departments are involved in this Center.

The goal of the ISET Cooperative Science Center (ISETCSC) is to increase the number of highly qualified, well-trained graduates in the fields of NOAA-related sensor science, sensor technology and information technology applications for atmospheric and climate sciences for career opportunities with NOAA and other federal agencies. The main thrust areas of research are:

1. Conduct research to develop new sensors and sensor packages for profiling atmospheric trace constituents and meteorological variables as well as water quality.
2. Conduct research using both numerical and empirical methods to characterize and specify significant factors affecting tropical storms to provide better-forecast models and predictions.
3. Develop data-fusion techniques, data mining techniques, sensor networks, and multiagent and grid computing to support implementation of the analytic techniques

The Center is now supporting about fifty students across all institutions and ten of these are PhD students working in atmospheric chemistry, climate modeling, lidar development, data fusion and mining etc.
