This 2-day GIFT workshop will present Earth Systems Science research related to rain, rocks, and soils, with focus on remote sensing. This course is designed for Middle and High School teachers who will gain hands-on activities and ideas for their classrooms. Topics include: Geography, geology, weather and climate of South America. Use of TRMM (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission) satellite data. Effects of rain on rocks: weathering and the carbon cycle. Predictions of impacts from future climate changes and water supplies. Educators challenges in teaching Climate Change. Inspiring future decision-makers now in schools. Sharing teachers´ experiences. A maximum number of 35 teachers will be accepted. For more information, please contact Celso Carneiro(cedrec@ige.unicamp.br) or Nisia Krusche (nkrusche@furg.br).
Lecturer: Ricardo Biloti (Unicamp, Brazil) and Luis Alberto D'Afonseca (Unicamp)
Date: August 08th, Sunday from 9 am to 1 pm – 2pm to 6pm.
Venue: Rafain Hotel, Room A3
Registration fee: US$ 30 - Participants must bring their own laptops.

One-day short course to introduce the fundamentals of conventional seismic processing in time: data acquisition, source-receiver configurations, data sort, normal-move out corrections, velocity analysis, stacking, and time migration. The core concepts of the seismic processing interface GêBR will be explained. All practical exercises will be done inside GêBR environment which is free software. Participants must bring their own notebooks. Installation of GêBR platform will be provided. The course is limited to 30 students. Interested participants please contact biloti@ime.unicamp.br for more information.
Lecturers: Tom Yoksas (Unidata Program Center/UCAR, USA), Waldenio Gambi de Almeida (INPE, Brazil), Luis Farfan (CICESE, Mexico), Guilherme Chagas (U. Aveiro, Portugal)
Date: August 08th, Sunday from 9 am to 1 pm – 2pm to 6pm.
Venue: Rafain Hotel, Room C3
Registration fee: US$ 30 - Participants must bring their own laptops.
Maximum 30 participants
The goals of the short course are to:
• Foster scientific partnerships for exchanging knowledge and expertise among educators and researchers through use of common, freely-accessible tools
• Promote greater participation in free-and-open sharing of Earth System data
• Inform participants of the wide variety of freely available data in the Unidata Internet
Data Distribution (IDD) and its Brazilian counterpart (IDD-Brasil) data sharing networks and through the Unidata Thematic Realtime Environmental Distributed Data Services (THREDDS) Data Server (TDS) and Repository for Archiving, Managing and Accessing Diverse Data (RAMADDA) content repository, publishing platform and collaboration facility
• Inform participants of the suite of freely-available analysis and display applications like GEMPAK and the Unidata Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) software framework
This one day short course will be comprised of short presentations-on and hands-on interactions-with Unidata’s TDS, RAMADDA and IDV packages. The targeted audience is Earth System scientists and students who are registered for the Joint Assembly 2010. Special emphasis will be placed on access-to and use-of atmospheric science-related data.
The course will be held from 9 am to 6 pm on Sunday, August 8. A registration fee of US$ 30 (R$50,00) will be charged. Participants are required to furnish their own laptop computers and to be adept at installing and configuring new software on their machines. The TDS, RAMADDA, and the IDV are Java-based applications that require Java 1.6. The TDS requires that the host machine have Apache Tomcat installed; RAMADDA can use Tomcat or run in standalone mode. Because of its design as a 3-D/4-D visualization application, the IDV requires that the user’s machine provide full OpenGL video support and be configured with at least 1 GB of RAM (2 GB or more is strongly recommended).

Post-congress August 13th-19th, 2010.
The Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology (IRIS) and the FDSN are organizing a workshop on data management for seismological networks, co-sponsored by CERESIS and IASPEI. The goal is to enable open data sharing and exchange of ideas between networks in the Americas and to assist operators of seismic networks in the generation of metadata for their stations. We shall provide training in seismometry, data acquisition systems, digital filtering theory, quality assurance of seismological data, and how modern seismological data are used to study diverse scientific problems as well as monitoring seismicity. The primary goal of the workshop is the generation of the metadata needed to describe their networks using the Portable Data Collection Center (PDCC) application. We expect participants to come away from the workshop with all the necessary knowledge to set up and maintain their own database and to link their network to the growing global network for data access. Specific Requirements: Participants MUST be able to bring their own laptops to the workshop. Participant’s laptops will need to meet special requirements. Please see more information at:
