CIMSS Summer Workshop: The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) held its 2003 Summer Workshop on Atmospheric, Earth, and Space Sciences for High School Students this week, July 27-31.  In the past the workshop was for students and teachers; this year two separate workshops were hosted. Participating students experience science education, research, and modern technology firsthand. We emphasize hands-on activities and arrange for the students to interact directly with our scientists. At this year's workshop the following topics were covered: plate tectonics, earthquakes, and glaciology; weather satellites, map analysis and forecasting, global climate change, and videographic tools; monitoring of natural resources from earth orbiting satellites, digital image processing, and geographic information systems; exploring the surface of Mars, and sounding of planetary atmospheres.
