Life in the Corps

 

Whether they’re living in dorms at a California Conservation Corps residential center or commuting to work at a non-residential center each day, Corpsmembers start their days early and work hard.
At residential centers, Corpsmembers are responsible for cleaning their rooms and making their beds daily. Breakfast may be served before the sun comes up, and time is provided to pack a bag lunch to take and eat on the project site.
All Corpsmembers, residential and non-residential, line up for roll call at their center before departing for the day’s project with their crews in vans or larger vehicles. In the CCC, crews will travel up to an hour or so to reach a project site.
At the project site, there are “tailgate sessions” to talk about safety and learn more about the work the Corpsmembers will be doing. The project work is often very challenging, but offers opportunities to learn and develop new skills.
Crews return to the center in the late afternoon. Non-residential Corpsmembers then attend class, either working on high school diplomas or advancing their education through CCC Core Training classes.
April | 2012 | Terra
The effect of aerosols on clouds continue to be a challenging topic but a lot of progress has been made over the last decade.
Finally, how did you get interested in science?
SC: Believe it or not, I was sitting in a radiative transfer course during my graduate school days and the Professor was lecturing on the global radiative energy budget. I felt the light go on inside my head. That was nearly 25 years ago. I studied the radiative energy budget of clouds using ERBE and I later became interested in aerosols from biomass burning. Our first paper used AVHRR and ERBE data to study radiative forcing of aerosols using a few case studies. I was eagerly awaiting the launch of Terra and it is indeed truly rewarding to be able to provide global estimates of radiative forcing using Terra (from MODIS, MISR, and CERES).

ASTER Researcher: Dr. Michael Ramsey

Posted on April 3, 2012 by Tassia Owen 
	Posted in News and Events 

Dr. Michael Ramsey is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geology and Planetary Science at the University of Pittsburgh.  He also heads one of the premier state-of-the-art image analysis centers in the nation, which includes infrared spectroscopy and GPS technologies.  In addition to teaching remote sensing courses to under-graduate and graduate students at the University, he also travels all over the over the world to study volcanoes.
What do you study?
MR: My primary area of study is physical volcanology focusing on eruptions, volcanic processes, and monitoring using thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing.  Of specific interest to me is the linkage between the renewal of activity at an explosive volcano and the ability of remote sensing to detect that activity and help monitor subsequent hazardous activity.  I have helped initiate a rapid response program using data from MODIS and AVHRR to trigger emergency ASTER observations of volcanoes and other natural disasters.  In addition to the satellite image analysis, the tools employed include laboratory-based infrared spectroscopy, field-based TIR imaging and differential global positioning system (dGPS) data collection. I have focused on the multispectral thermal IR data of ASTER in order to map composition and micron-scale roughness of volcanic surfaces.

CCC Core Training | California Conservation Corps
Core Training includes the following courses:
COMET: All applicants must complete Corpsmember Orientation, Motivation, Education, and Training (COMET) to become official members of the California Conservation Corps.
Conservation Awareness: The Conservation Awareness Program (CAP) furthers Corpsmembers’ appreciation for California’s natural resources and helps them understand their roles as conservationists, consumers, and citizens. It is intended to help Corpsmembers understand the “why” behind the work they do.
Career Development: The Career Development and Transition program (CDT) prepares Corpsmembers for future employment, college education, and/or technical education. During this course, Corpsmembers get to know themselves better, research their options, and bring it all together using practical applications, including resume development and interview skills.
Work Ethic Development: Corpsmembers receive regular performance evaluations from their supervisors. These evaluations provide consistent feedback on a range of work skills, including dependability (e.g., attendance and punctuality), work site relations (e.g., cooperation and adaptability), and program performance (e.g., work safety and technical skills).
Community Service and Volunteerism: To earn the CCC Brad Duncan Scholarship, Corpsmembers must perform at least 48 hours of volunteer service during their first year in the CCC. Volunteerism helps Corpsmembers understand the value and importance of serving their communities as active citizens. Volunteer time takes place in local communities, typically in the evenings or on weekends.

40 Years Ago: NASA Selects its 10th Group of Astronauts - NASA
Following his second flight, Culbertson served first as deputy in 1994 and then as program manager from 1995 until 1998 of the Shuttle/Mir Program, and then one year as deputy program manager for operations of the International Space Station Program before returning to active duty in the astronaut office. On his third and final spaceflight, Culbertson served as commander of Expedition 3 aboard the space station, a 128-day flight from August to December 2001. During his expedition, he participated in a 5-hour 4-minute spacewalk. He logged 143 days 14 hours 50 minutes in space during his three missions. After retiring from NASA, Culbertson served as an executive with Orbital Sciences Corporation, later bought by Northrup Grumman, to develop and operate the Cygnus cargo resupply vehicles to the space station.
New Mexico native Gutierrez completed his first spaceflight in June 1991 as the pilot of STS-40, the Spacelab Life Sciences-1 mission aboard Columbia. During the nine-day flight, the crew conducted 18 experiments in life sciences. On his second flight, he commanded STS-59, an 11-day mission in April 1994 aboard Endeavour. The Space Radar Laboratory-1 mission conducted studies dedicated to study of the Earth and its atmosphere. Over his two missions, Gutierrez accumulated 20 days 8 hours 3 minutes of spaceflight time.
Missouri native and U.S. Air Force test pilot Hammond flew his first spaceflight as pilot of STS-39, an unclassified DOD mission in April-May 1991. During the eight-day mission aboard Discovery, the seven-member crew that included fellow Maggot Veach conducted experiments to study atmospheric phenomena and deployed and retrieved a SPARTAN satellite. He flew again as pilot of STS-64 with fellow Maggot Lee, an 11-day flight aboard Discovery in September 1994, with the LIDAR in Space Technology Experiment as the primary payload. Hammond accumulated 19 days 6 hours 11 minutes in space over his two spaceflights.

Corpsmembers Journey to Patagonia | California Conservation Corps
Up in the Andes, the CCC crew partnered with local Chilean workers as well as volunteers from around the globe to restore and expand the trail network in the Torres Del Paine National Park.  
“We were removing brush, threading, and preparing a bridge crossing that will probably get finished next year,” said Corpsmember Axel Rodriguez. “The original trail was made by horses,” added Corpsmember Alina Ramirez, “We were doing this so people can get through more easily and safely.” 

 

Corpsmembers use a rock bar to move a giant rocks on the trail. 

 

Patagonia’s landscape offered several new challenges for the Corpsmembers. While abroad, the crew had to acclimate to different weather and wildlife. On several occasions they even spotted a puma lurking nearby. Yet, the journey was all worth it.  
“The spectacular views that you get to see, they’re really jaw dropping,” said Corpsmember Arturo Fernandez. “You get these beautiful ridges of mountains and a rainbow going through. I just really love that.” 
Interacting with the local community was also a highlight of the exchange. Corpsmembers connected with Chilean locals over food, horseback riding, and educational excursions.  
“It’s been culturally eye-opening to involve myself in the community here,” said Gigi Munoz. “You just see everyone really talking and engaging with each other and there’s a lot of value in that.” 
Whether in California or abroad, the CCC is helping young adults expand their horizons through its paid training programs and experiences. This Patagonia exchange demonstrates how Corpsmembers are leveraging opportunities within the CCC to transform their lives.

US, Germany Partnering on Mission to Track Earth’s Water Movement - NASA
“The mission is an example of the commitment that NASA and our German partners share for studying the Earth and helping society better prepare for a warming world.”
GRACE-C, previously known as the Mass Change mission, addresses one of the key goals outlined in the 2017 Decadal Survey for Earth Science conducted by the U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine: to better understand the planet’s global water cycle through large-scale changes in Earth’s mass.
“Together with NASA, we are now continuing along the GRACE route in Earth observation, thereby strengthening our international cooperation in space-based research,” said Walther Pelzer, a member of the DLR executive board and director general of the German Space Agency at DLR. “The USA and Germany have been working closely together for a long time on climate and environmental research from space. The trust that our U.S. partners are placing in German space expertise for these missions by commissioning the satellite construction and the delivery of important parts of the GRACE-C instrumentation and mission control is also a sign of Germany’s capabilities as a prime location for spaceflight.”
The mission will be part of NASA’s Earth System Observatory (ESO), a set of Earth-focused missions that will provide data to guide efforts related to climate change, natural hazard mitigation, wildfire management, and food security. When combined, ESO mission data will create a holistic view of Earth from the planet’s atmosphere to its bedrock.
More About the Mission
JPL manages the GRACE-C mission for NASA and will procure the two spacecraft from Airbus Defence and Space, the company that built the satellites for the GRACE and GRACE-FO missions. Development and construction of the LRI system will be led by JPL, which is managed for NASA by Caltech in Pasadena. The German contributions are funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The German Space Agency at DLR will manage the German contributions to GRACE-C, providing the LRI optics subsystems; mission operations; telemetry, tracking, and command; the ground data system; the laser retroreflectors to help with satellite positioning; the launch vehicle; and launch services.

The California Conservation Corps

Who We AreThe California Conservation CorpsDirector’s MessageExecutive TeamHistoryPosition & PolicyArchitectural & Engineering Contracting 
 
 

The California Conservation Corps is a department within the California Natural Resources Agency. We are the oldest and largest conservation corps in the nation.
Our program provides young adults 18 – 25 years old a year of paid service to the State of California. During their year of service, Corpsmembers work on environmental projects and respond to natural and man-made disasters. Through this work, they gain skills and experience that lead to meaningful careers. Our motto is ‘Hard Work, Low Pay, Miserable Conditions and More!’  We are dedicated to developing our Corpsmembers into citizens with character, credentials, and commitment.

 

Governor Jerry Brown established the CCC in 1976, modeled after the original Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s. More than 120,000 young adults have served in the Corps over its 40+ year history.
The Corpsmembers

1,634 Corpsmember positions are available
Approximately 3,000 Corpsmembers enroll each year
