NOAA Cooperative Science Centers: In the past two decades, NOAA Educational Partnership Programs with Minority Serving Institutions (EPP/MSI) Cooperative Science Centers have awarded degrees to over 1,800 students in NOAA -mission fields (NOAA, 2017). The primary goals of these programs are to: increasing the number of post-secondary graduates with STEM degrees who are qualified to solve today’s environmental and technological challenges; creating new opportunities for underrepresented populations to be introduced to career paths within NOAA; and working collaboratively with NOAA in areas of science, resource management and social science solutions to real world problems in local communities(NOAA, 2017).
There are currently four NOAA Cooperative Sciences that support students and researchers focusing NOAA related work: NOAA Center for Atmospheric Sciences & Meteorology, awarded to Howard University; NOAA Center for Earth System Sciences & Remote Sensing Technologies, awarded to City College of the City University of New York; NOAA Living Marine Resources Cooperative Science Center, awarded to University of Maryland Eastern Shore; and NOAA Center for Coastal and Marine Ecosystems awarded to Florida A&M University).

    Case Study Of Ain 'T No Makin' It By Jay Macleod

    In Jay MacLeod’s Ain’t No Makin’ It, lack of motivation and lack of opportunity limit two different groups of boys in the projects of Clarendon Heights: the Hallway Hangers and the Brothers. MacLeod observes these groups in his case study starting in the early 1980s when most of the boys were still in high school and through their adulthood. Starting in the early 2000s and continuing through today, STEM - science, technology, engineering, and math - education achieved popularity in the educational sphere because it is seen as a way to increase U.S. innovational output as well as create diversity in the white and Asian male dominant STEM career field by seeking inclusion of females, minorities, and lower socioeconomic youth in STEM education.…

    Shark Chat: Key Biscayne's Citizen Scientist Project

    For my Shark Chat topic I would like to speak about citizen science and how people, regardless of age, major, or qualification can participate and become citizen scientists themselves. Citizen science is when local residents contribute to data collection of their environment without having to be actual scientists. I first learned about citizen science through Key Biscayne's Citizen Scientist Project, which is a non-profit organization that promotes citizen science among the community with free lectures that focus on a variety of scientific topics, beach cleanups, waters testing events, and youth fishing clinics. Through my internship with them, I have experienced first hand why citizen science is so important to environmental sustainability.…

    NOAA is an organization that was created by the government for the purpose of monitoring ocean waters and the weather of our nation. NOAA monitors and forecasts the atmosphere along with the help of the NWS or the National Weather Service (http://www.weather.gov/). Both of these organizations have important jobs and both save several every year. NOAA is primarily responsible for studying oceans on the atmosphere for the purpose of learning more about them and predicting impacts of the atmospheric changes. The National Weather Service’s primary focus is to forecast and study weather conditions in the US.…

    Meteorologist Position Paper

    Meteorologists are not always right with their predictions about when it is going to rain or not. Joe Munchak is a scientist at NASA who use this system of satellites to figure out how big and severe the storm is going to be. This satellite will help in hurricane situations so that meteorologists know what to prepare for and when it coming their way. This satellite sometimes will show isolated raindrops Munchak says that will lead to bad weather forecasts. NASA in 2014 got a radar that showed more in-depth rain results.…

    African American Women

    African American women are less likely than African American men, White men, and White women to pursue the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) (Ceci & Williams, 2007; Charleston, George, Jerlando, Jackson, Berhanu, & Amechi, 2014; Perna, et al., 2009; Syed & Chemers, 2011). This is especially true for the field of engineering, as approximately 1% of undergraduate African American women declared engineering as a major during the 2013-2014 academic year (Yoder, 2015). The low enrollment of African American women in engineering programs in the United States may be attributed to several factors including: the Whiteness of the field (Brown, Morning, & Watkins, 2005), the experience of stereotype threat in the field…

    Personal Narrative: A Career As A Meteorologist

    For ten years I have possessed a constant desire to become a meteorologist; I want most of all to make a difference, a saying uttered often but so infrequently accomplished. Meteorologists hold such a significant job—they provide warnings for severe and extreme conditions and help ordinary civilians decide which day to do this or that—and are not accredited for their efforts because oftentimes they are marginally incorrect and are blamed for the slight inconveniences in the days of countless people. I so desperately want to prove all these doubters wrong, prove that, yes, weather can be predicted accurately with little percent error. To find a way to accomplish this great stretch of a wish is my main objective as a meteorologist.…

    Washington College is close to the deeply important Chesapeake Bay through its connection to the Chester river. How does the college’s existence and presence close to this unique environment impact the bay and its surrounding ecosystems? As Washington College develops as a place for environmentally minded students, it is important to examine how the College’s presence impacts the surrounding environment. First and foremost, this will require research into the surrounding ecosystems and ecosystem health. For this I intend to do research from local organizations, including the local River Keeper and Chester River organizations.…

    Argumentative Essay On This Is Water

    The essential characteristics of how knowledge is to humans as water is to fish can be summarized as follows. Firstly, the environment must be considered. This is important because while humans realize they are surrounded by new knowledge, many fail to express how to access that knowledge. Additionally, a person’s or a fish’s ability to choose must be considered. This is important because as fish do not have a choice to live in water, many people do not have a choice about what they think about.…
