and Understanding of Our Science

Attendees at the SuperComputing
'05 conference in Seattle attend a presentation by IMAGe Director Doug
Nychka in the CISL booth. CISL staff delivered a series of presentations
on topics including data assimilation, turbulence, petascale computing,
and visualization, and provided broad overviews to conference attendees
about CISL projects, tools, and NCAR Science. |
CISL supports several programs that foster and improve public
awareness and understanding of science and provide tools and training
for geoscientific data analysis and visualization for the scientific
and educational communities. These activities are supported through
conference exhibits, visually compelling 3D presentations in the Vislab,
partnership with the NCAR Public Visitor Program, and a training and
outreach program for the NCAR Command Language (NCL) and other
visualization tools. CISL's work across all of these areas broadly
supports NCAR's strategic goal to "Cultivate a scientifically
literate and engaged citizenry and a diverse and creative workforce."
This work is supported by NSF Core funding.
Accomplishments and plans in these areas are discussed in these
