The 9th Annual AMS Student Conference
Open to AMS members and student members only
16–17 (Sat–Sun) January 2010; Room B206
Join us for the Ninth Annual AMS Student Conference and Career Fair, "New Demands on Atmospheric Science: Ways to be Innovative with Your Degree" sponsored by the American Meteorological Society, 16–17 (Sat–Sun) January 2010 as part of the 90th AMS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia. Registration, hotel, and general information will be posted on the AMS Web site (www.ametsoc.org) in early-November 2009. A registration fee of $25 has been set for this conference.
In addition to presentations and group discussions featuring both noted professionals and fellow students, we encourage students to submit papers about a wide range of topics. All accepted abstracts will be scheduled as a poster. Students should create a poster (reference the AMS “Poster Presentation” guidelines here: http://www.ametsoc.org/meet/speakersupport.pdf) that will be up for display during the Sunday evening poster session. Students will not need to formally present their poster but they are encouraged to stand by their poster and answer questions during the ‘formal poster-viewing hours’, which will be released at a later date."
Abstracts for this conference should cover a wide range of student interest and activities. Suggested topics include overviews of ongoing student research projects and/or student applications of emerging technologies. We expect to have plenty of space so you can anticipate your abstract to be accepted and receive significant visibility as a poster!
The student conference is intended for junior and senior undergraduates and all graduate students, and will focus on interdisciplinary topics and wide-ranging opportunities in the atmospheric and related sciences. Important eligibility requirement: You must be an AMS member or student member in order to attend the conference.
Sessions will include invited speakers from the private, academic, and government sectors. A career fair and networking evening is scheduled to provide a forum for students to personally interact with professionals who represent potential employers and graduate institutions.
Please submit your abstract electronically via the Web by 1 October 2009 (refer to the AMS Web page at www.ametsoc.org for instructions). There is no abstract fee for the student conference. When completing the submission form, please note payment by purchase order, and indicate “Student Conference” in the box marked “Purchase Order Number”. This will allow you to proceed with your submission without payment information. Authors of accepted presentations will be notified via e-mail in late-October.
For additional information please contact the program chairpersons, John Lanicci, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, e-mail: john.lanicci@erau.edu or Angelyn Kolodziej, University of Oklahoma, (angelyn@ou.edu).
