S'COOL Team: Gone But Not Forgotten

Gone but not forgotten:

Image of Robert Sepulveda Roberto Sepulveda worked with S'COOL for four years and values time spent in the classrooms with S'COOL participants. "Making science come alive for the kids is what S'COOL is all about," says Robert. Robert has now gone back to the classroom to teach Biology.

Image of Steve Campbell Steve Campbell was the first graphics artist extraordinaire for the S'COOL Project. He developed the logo and the poster and those cute little S'COOL kids.

Image of Kay Costulis Kay Costulis has worked at NASA Langley Research Center for over 25 years (yes, she started when she was only a toddler!) She supported the S'COOL Project in the role of Web Curator. She also supported the CERES Data Management team. Kay received several "distinguished" S'COOL awards, most recently named "Web Master of the Universe." Her motto: "I can do anything because I have the POWER!"

Image of Paula Detweiler Paula Detweiler began working at NASA Langley Research Center in 1988 as a programmer and has supported several projects, including ERBE and CERES. She worked at the Atmospheric Sciences Data Center where the CERES data (and many other science project data) are processed, archived, and distributed. Paula became the S'COOL database guru in December 2000 and left in 2004. She now works on the CALIPSO project.

Image of Amanda Falcone Amanda Falcone is a Graduate student at Colorado State University. She spent two summers at NASA Langley working on comparisons of the S'COOL data with the satellite data. Amanda plans on finishing her degree in engineering and maybe working in atmospheric sciences in the future.

Image of Carolyn Green Carolyn Green was part of the S'COOL team from 1997-2001. After retiring from teaching Earth Science and other subjects in Newport News, VA, she worked as an educational consultant to develop materials for our participating teachers and help with logistics for the project. Putting out a quarterly newsletter and helping plan a summer workshop rounded out some of her responsibilities. Her presentations at conferences in the USA, Europe and Australia have helped spread the word about S'COOL. Carolyn has now retired a 3rd time, and is traveling the country. Best wishes, Carolyn!

Image of Susan Haberer Susan Haberer was a web master and database monitor. After 4 years, she can finally identify most cloud types, so she's moved on to learn new things.

Image of Anne Racel Anne Racel was our first web form and database guru. She developed and debugged all our nice on-line forms. She also verified that all your observations are correctly entered into the database. She has now moved on to more lucrative work to support college tuition payments.

Image of Doug Stoddard Doug Stoddard began as teacher-in-residence with the CERES' S'COOL Project. Doug then joined the S'COOL Team full time after teaching middle school science in Virginia and Massachusetts. Doug represented S'COOL at various conferences and promoted this educational project as an excellent real-life science program for teachers to DO with their students. Doug is currently teaching near Kiev, in the Ukraine.

Image of Christine York Christine York is a teacher in a Hampton Middle School. She was with us for a few weeks over a summer learning about teamwork and career options so she can better help her students.

Image of Dave Young Dave Young was our satellite data expert. He was a member of the CERES Science Team and has helped develop the computer programs used by CERES for cloud measurements.

Gretchen Blauvelt, an undergraduate from Princeton University, worked with us during the summer of 1999. She processed AVHRR satellite data from the period before CERES launch and compared them with S'COOL observations.

Ian McGlynn, is now a Graduate student at the University of Virginia, VA. He worked with us during the summer of 1998. He processed AVHRR satellite data to get cloud retrievals for S'COOL observations made before CERES launch, and also worked on a system to interactively map S'COOL participants.
