NSF Support for U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) Support Activities

自1994年以来，大学大气研究公司（UCAR）通过三个主要活动支持美国全球变化研究计划的实施：-美国全球变化研究计划整合与协调办公室（USGCRP ICO）；- USCGRP国际项目；-政府间气候变化专门委员会（IPCC）技术支持组（TSU）。UCAR将继续运作USGCRP ICO、USGCRP国际项目活动和IPCC TSU。USGCRP ICO促进项目整合、规划和协调。USGCRP国际活动将协助与其他国家（双边和多边）协调全球变化研究活动。政府间气候变化专门小组将对与了解气候变化的科学基础、潜在影响和减缓适应备选办法有关的与政策有关的科学、技术和社会经济信息进行全面和最新的评估。智力价值：对于科学界来说，记录和理解我们全球环境的变化并预测其未来的演变是很重要的。这项UCAR活动将在全球认识和接受方面发挥关键作用。更广泛的影响：这一系列活动将以出版物、决策支持、沟通工具和活动为高潮，为社区内广泛的气候相关讨论和决策提供信息。现在，人们越来越关注全球变化将如何影响地球上居民的生活，以及地球上的国家如何做出决定，如何减少未来全球变化的幅度，最大限度地减少影响，并适应未来的全球变化。这些报告、评估和互动将有助于国家和世界理解、评估、预测和应对人类引起的和自然的全球变化过程。指导：UCAR为刚从高中或大学毕业的学生提供通过短期职位参与项目的机会。这些学生与工作人员和来访的科学家互动，并从事具体的活动，包括网站，向利益相关者报告，为期几周到三个月。博士后和早期职业科学家参与研讨会和会议，为他们提供与资深科学家一对一互动的机会。

Since 1994, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) has supported the implementation of the U.S. Global Change Research Program through three major activities:- U.S. Global Change Research Program Integration and Coordination Office (USGCRP ICO); - USCGRP International Program; - Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC) Technical Support Unit (TSU). UCAR will continue operation of the USGCRP ICO, the USGCRP International Program activity and the IPCC TSU. The USGCRP ICO fosters program integration, planning, and coordination. The USGCRP International activity will assist in coordination of global change research activities with other nations (bi- and multi-lateral). The IPCC TSU will prepare comprehensive and up-to-date assessments of policy-related scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for understanding the scientific basis of climate change, potential impacts, and options for mitigation adaptation. Intellectual Merit: It is important for the scientific community to document and understand changes in our global environment and to predict its future evolution. This UCAR activity will play a critical role in the global state of awareness and acceptance. Broader Impacts: This set of activities will culminate in publications as well as decision support and communication tools and activities to inform a wide-range of climate-related discussions and decisions in the community. There is now increasing concern about how global change will affect the lives of the Earth's inhabitants and how the nations of the Earth can make decisions about how to reduce the future magnitude of, minimize the impacts of, and adapt to global change for the future. The reports, assessments, and interactions will help the nation and the world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change. Mentoring: UCAR provides students just out of high school or college, with the opportunity to work on its projects through short-term positions. These students interact with staff and visiting scientists and work on specific activities, including websites, reports to stakeholders, for periods of a few weeks to three months. Post-docs and early-career scientists are involved in workshops and meetings that provide them with the opportunity to interact one-on-one with senior scientists.
