Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science

What is CPAESS? The Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth system science (CPAESS) serves the Earth system science community in three distinct areas of service. We partner with federal agencies and businesses to hire critical scientific staff enabling a more robust workforce. Through our scientific programs we seek to edify new research with our postdoctoral programs, our visiting scientist and internship programs, along with our interagency support programs. We also help build the Earth system science community by convening and managing summer schools and institutes, conferences, and advisory committees. **Vision** The CPAESS vision is to advance scientific research and collaboration efforts for the benefit of all. **Mission** CPAESS develops customizable solutions to complex scientific challenges by advancing research capacity, building community collaborations, and fostering scientific leadership.
