NOAA OWAQ to hold FACETs Workshop

OWAQ, in partnership with the OAR Labs and operational NWS partners will hold a FACETs Workshop in Norman, OK September 23-25, 2019 with two objectives:
 

  1. Provide a detailed orientation to the 4 OWAQ-funded Postdocs (Sept 23-24) being tasked with the FACETs expansion research through a series of high-level overviews, lectures, interactive technological demonstration, facility tours and team-building activities executed by the resident NOAA, FACETs, OAR Lab and NWS operational experts.
  2. Provide a robust meeting for the FPWG members (Sept 24-25) in efforts to identify research gaps, deepen understanding and applicability of the FACETs concepts, create tangible FACETs expansion mission goals for the labs and hazard areas, and strengthen relationships with the NWS operational partners invested the FACETs mission.

Sea Grant to Announce $16 Million in Aquaculture Funding

Sea Grant plans to announce the 2019 aquaculture awards on September 19. This year's awards include a federal commitment of $16 million (over up to three years depending on the project) through three targeted programs. The programs represent specific areas of need for U.S. aquaculture and build on the foundation Sea Grant, NOAA and others have built with investments over the last several years. 
Advanced Aquaculture Collaborative Programs: Ten projects will develop integrated teams of professionals focused on accelerating the development of specific aquaculture topics. These teams will establish a collaborative program to plan for and appropriately focus the next generation of aquaculture investments while enhancing the synthesis and transfer of past research advances to the industry. 

Exploring New Aquaculture Opportunities: Sixteen projects will focus on the development of new, and at times higher-risk, topics for which minimal foundation currently exists to inform and focus potential future investments.

Social, Economic, and Behavioral Research Needs in Aquaculture: Sixteen projects will address critical gaps in social, behavioral, and economic knowledge as it relates to U.S. aquaculture and the communities impacted and served by it.

Meteorology and Climate – Modeling for Air Quality Conference

September 11-13: GSD Model Development Branch Chief Georg Grell is a Lead Chair for the biennial Meteorology and Climate – Modeling for Air Quality Conference (MAC-MAQ) hosted by the University of California, Davis. The biennial three day conference brings together research scientists, experts, and professionals from around the world to discuss a wide range of topics related to meteorology for air quality applications. The primary focus is on understanding and improving meteorological modeling, understanding what is “under the hood” in the models, how experimental data can be used to improve them, and the importance of meteorology in air quality modeling applications.
