I'm a UCP staff member, and I work with the National Ocean Sciences Bowl (NOSB) education program of the Center for Ocean Leadership (COL), UCP's newest community program.
The NOSB is an academic competition for high school students that engages students in ocean science, research, policy, and conservation learning, as well as ocean and STEM career exploration. Up to 2,000 students compete in regional competitions held at universities, zoos and aquariums, and nonprofits across the U.S. each year.
COL connects, convenes, and supports collaboration within the ocean science and technology community, represented by a network of affiliate institutions from academic, non-profit, and commercial sectors. We're always exploring new ways to collaborate and partner with other programs at NSF NCAR, UCAR, UCP, and beyond!

Hello! I am so excited to be connecting with you all on the Commons! I look forward to e-meeting you all and learning about your research, collaborations, challenges, and successes! To get started, will you tell me about which UCAR, UCP, and NSF NCAR lab and programs do you engage with? Are you a student who has visited? Do you collaborate on a research project? How do you use NSF unidata in your classroom? If you are a staff member, tell us what your lab or program is working on.
When we share our experiences, it can inadvertently lead to more great adventures!
I am still exploring and learning about everything UCAR, UCP, and NSF NCAR do in terms of research and opportunities for scientists, students, and faculty. One of my favorite experiences so far was visiting the NSF NCAR Research Aviation Facility. It's so cool to see how the planes are outfitted for field campaigns.
I wonder what you all find valuable that I don't even know I'm missing!
