With the help of SuperDARN collaborators, Dr. Evan Thomas at Dartmouth College has rebuilt the list of student products that have drawn on or benefited from SuperDARN research activities. The list contains nearly 200 items and is sorted by author and year. Evan has posted the list to a publicly available Github repository: https://github.com/SuperDARN/theses_dissertations

The repository includes a few sample C programs to demonstrate parsing the thesis/dissertation text file and building html for displaying on a webpage.

In Evan's words: 'Thank you again to everyone who has contributed and please help me keep this resource up-to-date as your current and future students complete their degree programs.'

October 31, 2019: Kevin Sterne notified the SuperDARN collaboration that the hard drive capability of the VT SuperDARN server is being expanded. In his words: '..for the next few days, data from 2019 may be limited via the VT website. My apologies for this inconvenience, but it comes with the advantage of being able to store many more years of data.For any immediate needs, you can e-mail me off list at .'

Notes on current VT Server:
We have a JetStor RAID 6 array by ACNC (http://www.acnc.com/) with 24 4 TB harddrives attached to a computer running Ubuntu 12.04 Server Linux. Because of the way RAID 6 and file systems work, this effectively gives us 77 TB worth of storage. The RAID array looks like a giant hard drive to our server.

The Virginia Space Grant Consortium (VSGC) Undergraduate STEM Research Scholarship Program provides awards of up to $8,500 to rising juniors and seniors who are enrolled full-time in a program of study in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM) and have a specific faculty-mentored research project that has NASA or aerospace relevance.

Space@VT doctoral graduate Dong Lin has pointed out that NCAR hosts a program that makes it possible for graduate students to visit for periods ranging from a few months to a full year. In the words of the program announcement: 'NCAR's Advanced Study Program's Graduate Student (GVP) Fellowship is an excellent way to spend time at NCAR and work on parts of your thesis, or final project equivalent, with guidance from NCAR scientists and engineers. The GVP also is an opportunity to develop research collaborations at NCAR and to participate in professional development workshops and seminars.' The website for the program is https://asp.ucar.edu/graduate-visitors/graduate-visitor-program
Dong, now an ASP Postdoctoral Fellow at High Altitude Observatory, has offered to answer questions about the program and further opportunities. The deadline to apply is October 31, 2019

UCAR is pleased to announce the 2020 call for applications for the Jack Eddy Postdoctoral Fellowship program sponsored by NASA’s Living with a Star (LWS) program. These fellowships are designed to train the next generation of researchers in the emerging field of heliophysics. Heliophysics embraces all aspects of the Sun-Solar System, and includes many of the basic physical processes found in the laboratory, the solar system, and throughout the universe. These processes generally involve the interactions of ionized gases (plasmas) with gravitational and electro-magnetic fields, and with neutral matter. The physical domain of heliophysics ranges from deep inside the Sun to the Earth’s upper atmosphere.

Jack Eddy Fellowships provide a unique opportunity to go where few have gone before! Fellows are UCAR employees and receive a fixed annual salary, UCAR’s extensive benefits package, and allowances for relocation, travel and publications. Appointments will be announced by April 1, 2020.

Application Deadline: January 17, 2020
