CMMAP hosted our seventh annual CMMAP Student Colloquium in Fort Collins,
Colorado, July 31 - August 1, 2013. Additionally, a one-day tutorial workshop
on the Superparameterized Community Earth System Model (SP-CESM)
was held on August 2.
The two-day Colloquium included a Student Research Symposium and a
scientific outing in the mountains of Wyoming. During the Student
Research Symposium CMMAP interns and graduate students presented their research
as seen below. This was an activity for students to network and learn about
each others research and an opportunity to practice giving a talk for a national
conference.
