The Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Climate Change
Research (DISCCRS, pronounced discourse), connects natural and social
scientists engaged in research related to climate change, impacts and
solutions. The goal is to broaden perspectives and establish a
collegial peer network to address climate challenges at the interface
of science and society. See report from last symposium, and list of
participants at
<http://www.disccrs.org/reports/DISCCRS_III_Symposium_Report.pdf>http://www.disccrs.org/reports/DISCCRS_III_Symposium_Report.pdf
During the week of DISCCRS IV -- which will be held in the Tonto
National Forest outside Phoenix, Arizona -- participants will provide
oral and poster presentations in plenary format, hone
interdisciplinary communication and team skills, and discuss emerging
research, societal and professional issues with each other and with
established researchers invited to serve as mentors.
Participation will be limited to thirty-four early career scholars
identified by an interdisciplinary committee of research scientists
based on review of submitted applications.
Eligibility: Ph.D. requirements completed April 1, 2006 - March 31,
2008. We encourage applicants from the natural and social sciences,
economics, mathematics, engineering, or any other field so long as
the research focus relates to climate change, its impacts or
solutions. Selection will favor those with interdisciplinary,
collaborative interests. While the emphasis is on the U.S. research
system, applicants from all countries will be considered.
