GRT in Geosciences and Environmental Physical Sciences - An Interdisciplinary Effort Between the Program of Earth System Science and the Chemistry Department at UC Irvine

我们建议通过NSF研究生研究培训计划，在地球科学和环境物理的特定领域发展博士生水平的研究生培训。这些培训将通过地球系统科学方案和化学系之间的联合安排来实施。特别是，我们建议在五个领域进行研究生研究培训：1)沿海海洋学，2)海洋-大气相互作用，3)水文学，4)发展最先进的仪器技术，以及5)使用高性能计算方法对大气化学进行建模。该计划的创新方面包括1)通过各种活动招募人数不足的研究生，包括通过CAMP(加州少数族裔参与联盟)计划在UCI建立的渠道；2)学员参加每月一系列的研究研讨会；3)学员在研究生院的头两年参加实地学习；4)学员完成教学助理培训计划；5)建立一个学员监督委员会，负责选择GRT，并任命一个专门委员会为每个学员提供建议。研究生研究培训将大大增加所需的资源，以帮助实现我们在地球科学领域的研究生教育和研究的目标。

We propose to develop graduate training of doctoral-level students in specific areas of Geosciences and Environmental Physical Sciences through the NSF Graduate Research Traineeship Program. These Traineeships will be implemented through the joint arrangement that exist between the Earth System Science Program and the Department of Chemistry. In particular, we propose to pursue graduate research training in five area: 1) coastal oceanography, 2) ocean-atmosphere interactions, 3)hydrology, 4) development of state-of-the-art instrumental techniques, and 5) modeling of atmospheric chemistry using high-performance computing methods. Innovative aspects of the Program include 1) recruitment of underrepresented graduate students using a variety of activities including the pipeline established at UCI through the CAMP (California Alliance for Minority Participation) Program, 2) participation of trainees in a monthly research seminar series, 3) participation of trainees in field studies during their first two years in graduate school, 4) completion by trainees of a teaching assistant training program, 5) establishment of a Traineeship Oversight Committee who will be responsible for choosing the GRTs, and for appointment of a specialized committee to advise each trainee. Graduate Research Traineeships will substantially increase the resources needed to help achieve our goal of graduate education and research in the fields within Geosciences.
