The Faculty Development in geoSpace Science (FDSS) opportunity aims to integrate geospace science--to includes solar and space physics and space weather research--into natural sciences, engineering or related departments at U.S. institutions of higher education and stimulate the development of undergraduate or graduate programs or curricula capable of training the next generation of leaders in geospace science. Clemson University will create an FDSS tenure-track position in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. The focus for the new FDSS hire is on the integration of research and education in magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere coupling. The scientific objectives are to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the physical processes that govern the prevailing space weather conditions in the uppermost reaches of Earth’s atmosphere. Broader impacts include educating the next generation of leaders in a field of increasing importance for a technological society. Through new courses and by leveraging existing outreach programs, the new hire will significantly increase the university’s ability to engage the public in space weather, particularly with K-12 students from underserved and underrepresented groups, and strengthen first-generation undergraduate student engagement in space sciences.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

地理科学（FDSS）的教师发展机会旨在整合地理科学 - 包括太阳能和太空物理和太空天气研究 - into自然科学，工程或美国高等教育机构的相关部门，并刺激能够培训下一代Geospase Science领导者的本科或研究生课程或课程的发展。克莱姆森大学将在物理和天文学系中建立FDSS的终身任职地位。新的FDS雇用的重点是在磁层 - 离子层 - 大气耦合中的研究和教育整合。科学的目标是对控制地球大气层最高范围内主要空间天气条件的物理过程有更全面的理解。更广泛的影响包括教育下一代领导者对技术社会的重要性越来越重要。通过新课程并利用现有的宣传计划，新员工将大大提高大学参与太空天气的能力，尤其是来自服务不足和代表性不足的K-12学生，并加强了第一代学生参与太空科学领域的学科。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定任务和评估的良好依据，这是通过评估的范围来评估的。
