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)通过三项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和协调办公室(USGCRPICO)；-USCGRP国际计划；-政府间气候变化专门委员会(IPCC)技术支持单位(TSU)。UCAR将继续运作USGCRP ICO、USGCRP国际方案活动和IPCC TSU。USGCRP ICO促进了项目的整合、规划和协调。USGCRP国际活动将协助协调与其他国家(双边和多边)的全球变化研究活动。气专委技术服务股将对与政策相关的科学、技术和社会经济信息进行全面和最新的评估，以了解气候变化的科学基础、潜在影响和缓解适应的选择。智力价值：对科学界来说，记录和了解我们全球环境的变化并预测其未来的演变是重要的。这项UCAR活动将在全球认识和接受的状态中发挥关键作用。更广泛的影响：这一系列活动的最终结果将是出版物以及决策支持和传播工具以及活动，以便为社区内与气候有关的广泛讨论和决定提供信息。现在人们越来越关注全球变化将如何影响地球居民的生活，以及地球上的国家如何做出决定，决定如何减少未来全球变化的规模，将其影响降至最低，并为未来适应全球变化。这些报告、评估和互动将帮助国家和世界了解、评估、预测和应对人为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从事项目工作的机会。这些学生与工作人员和访问科学家互动，并从事具体活动，包括网站、向利益攸关方提交报告，时间从几周到三个月不等。博士后和职业生涯早期的科学家参加研讨会和会议，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.
