THE NEXT CLEA Summer Workshop on
Astronomical Research Techniques in the Introductory Laboratory will be
held June 17-26, 2010
PROJECT CLEA (Contemporary Laboratory Experiences in Astronomy)
announces a Summer 2010 workshop on Astronomical
Research Techniques in the Introductory Laboratory. Targeted primarily
at faculty who teach undergraduate college astronomy courses and who do
not themselves have graduate specialization in astronomy or astrophysics,
the workshop will introduce modern techniques of observation and data analysis
with an emphasis on the introductory laboratory. Hands-on observing with CCD's as well as an intensive introduction to the CLEA simulations and
other computer resources will be featured. Centered at the beautiful Gettysburg
College Campus, the week will include workshops on observing techniques,
hands-on experience with all CLEA exercises, evening observing sessions
at the Gettysburg College Observatory, and an observing trip to the National
Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia. Dates for the
workshop are June 17-26, 2010. Room and board will be provided to the applicants selected.
