NCEI is proud to be entering their 10th year of partnership with the NASA DEVELOP Program! This unique internship opportunity allows early and transitioning-career scientists to get hands-on field experience using NASA Earth science satellite data in partnership with NCEI. The collaboration between NCEI and NASA DEVELOP offers invaluable experience and is a great opportunity for forming interpersonal relationships between organizations. This spring, NASA DEVELOP is welcoming 12 interns who plan to divide their talents into three different user-driven projects. Working with NCEI, the interns will have access not only to data, but NCEI-based scientists as well. Since 2014, NCEI has had the pleasure of working alongside NASA DEVELOP and their interns to contribute positively to dozens of climate and conservation-related projects. Each team of early and transitioning-career scientists have contributed to efforts like urban tree recovery, early drought warning in the Midwest, water availability in the Sonoran Desert, and much more. NCEI is proud to support NASA DEVELOP’s mission of “Cultivating Tomorrow’s Earth Observation Users” and we look forward to continuing working alongside each other to provide aspiring scientists the chance to work with real-world data and materials.
