Dear Friends,
Welcome to the second edition of the CPAESS Newsletter.
So much has taken place in our various locations
in the two months that have intervened
since we launched this news- letter. I’ve been in circulation between
Boulder, Tuscaloosa and Washington, DC and thanks to your efforts to make me feel welcome, I have come to feel at home in all three places.
From the start, I’ve wanted to find a way for us to feel connected, to appreciate how we all work together, support and appreciate each other. I sense that is happening now and I want to thank each and every one of you for the role you play in creating a unified CPAESS.

I know that I have a very accomplished and committed staff. Reading all your perform- ance appraisals recently reinforced for me just how critical all of you are to our mission: to the services we provide in science support, event management and meeting planning, as well as in training and opportunities for professional development. These services provide our scientific community with the means to advance their research and analysis, all with a solutions-approach and practical applications, which have impact throughout the world.
Work work work… we all do plenty of it! But I hope you will find time to spend time outdoors now that the warm weather is here and the days are long and bright.
Growing up in Denmark, where winters are dark and deep, cheerfulness, reciprocity, community, and belonging are what get people through. When daylight returns in summer it is celebrated! Summer is a magical time! The daylight returns and people can’t get enough of it. Danes are often out strolling in what is actually the dead of night. They tank up on sunshine to charge their (solar-powered) batteries for the inevitable winters ahead.
Let that be a reminder to us to enjoy our time in the sun. Find time to celebrate summer, everyone!

2017 Laulima O Ka Moana Expedition
From July 7 to August 2, NOAA and partners, along with students supported by CPAESS, will conduct an expedition on NOAA Ship
Okeanos Explorer to continue collecting critical baseline information about unknown and poorly known deepwater areas in the Johnston Atoll Unit of the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument.Once the Okeanos begins it's mission, there's a
live feed.

23-25 May, 2017
Santa Fe, NM
|
|
For three days, US CLIVAR hosted members and collaborators of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) Science Team in Santa Fe to discuss advances in our understanding of the overturning circulation.
Highlights from the meeting may be found online, including over 60 oral and poster presentations, and a digital story collection from the live tweeting.

6-8 June 2017
Washington, D.C.
|

"The Regional Integrated Sciences and Assessments (RISA) program, funded by NOAA, held its annual meeting of principal investigators in Arlington, Virginia. The meeting is an opportunity for RISA program managers and investigators to exchange current research findings and discuss ways to strengthen the network in service of its mission to build the nation’s capacity to prepare for and adapt to climate variability.
|
|
|
Session themes included: process-based planning tools for decision-making, links to public health, strengthening national security, risk across timescales, and communicating regional impact.

The opening ceremony paid tribute to Barbara Emery, retired HAO senior scientist, who has been the lead on CEDAR conferences for many years. The CEDAR community will greatly miss Barbara, but we wish her the very best in retirement.
A slideshow was shown with pictures of Barbara's many years of service.

Total Solar Eclipse Stamp
|
|
Madhulika Guhathakurta is NASA program sponsor for our Heliophysics Summer School and our Jack Eddy Postdoctoral Fellowships programs.

The U.S. Postal Service has developed a stamp in honor of this year's total solar eclipse that uses for the first time temperature-sensitive ink.
|
|
“As a singular event of national scale and global audience, the total solar eclipse of Aug. 21 will rival the moon landing of 1969 as a landmark event for a new generation,” said Madhulika Guhathakurta, NASA, as quoted in the Orlando Sentinel June 21, 2017.
