Heliophysics Summer School

This one-week training, which is part of NASA's Living With a Star program, focuses on the physics of space weather events that start at the Sun and influence atmospheres, ionospheres, and magnetospheres throughout the solar system. 

MetEd

MetEd, from COMET, is a free collection of hundreds of training resources intended for the geoscience community. Whether you're an experienced meteorologist honing existing skills or a student looking for new geoscience topics of interest, we have something for you.

Explore the Sun-Earth Connection

NASA's Living With a Star Program (LWS) and UCAR Community Programs' Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS) partner to host the Heliophysics Summer School for grad students and early postdocs, and also offer the Jack-Eddy Postdoc Fellowship for early career PhD's to perform cross-disciplinary research under experienced scientist mentors at U.S. Institutions. 

CPAESS/NOAA OER Explorer

Students participate in an expedition aboard NOAA's Okeanos Explorer, the Nation’s only federal vessel dedicated to ocean exploration. The ship is equipped with advanced tools that support systematic exploration of unknown ocean regions. 

Unidata Summer Internships

Graduate and upper-level undergraduate interns interact with software developers, instructional designers, technical writers, and other mentors within the Unidata Summer Internship program.

ACOM Cicerone Fellowship

The Ralph Cicerone Fellowship in atmospheric chemistry and Earth system science is designed to promote and support graduate student research through mentoring and training. These students will come for four months over a two year period to work with scientists in the Atmospheric Chemistry Observations & Modeling (ACOM) lab on a self-defined project.

Najeeb E. Halaby Graduate Student Fellowship

This fellowship, offered by NSF NCAR's Research Applications Laboratory (RAL), allows a student to spend three months in residence with RAL's Aviation Weather Research Program and is designed to help shape the next generation of researchers in this important field.
