Keliann LaConte is the 2024-25 UCAR President's Leadership Fellow. She is conducting a survey to understand the state of education and training efforts for emerging Earth system science (ESS) specializations and help identify ways that UCAR and its collaborators could address priorities and gaps. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey to help UCAR understand the needs of the broader ESS community. Keliann's original message is below.
-----------------------
If you provide ESS learning opportunities at the post-secondary levels or within the workforce, we need your input!
Tell us about any learning opportunities that you offer on emerging ESS capabilities - ranging from AI/ML and data management to relationship building, creativity, and more - that are needed in the workplace now and in the future. Help us understand your priorities and any obstacles to providing education, training, and support for these capabilities. Take our survey today!
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) is a nonprofit hub for ESS. Together with its 131 North American college and university members, UCAR's community programs encourage students to pursue science careers and provide professional training and services. Your participation in this survey will help UCAR and its collaborators identify ways to address priorities and gaps. We invite you to share this invitation broadly with your networks throughout the global community.
Thank you for your time and input,
Keliann LaConte
