This proposal supports the training of 30 undergraduate students in climate science research. The proposal is for three years. Ten students each year during the summer will have a choice of conducting research in multiple disciplines, such as atmospheric science, oceanography, terrestrial ecology, chemistry and biogeochemistry. The overall objective is to attract a diverse group of students to climate science research by simulating the graduate research environment as closely as possible. The program is a complete immersion in the research process complemented with weekly activities to enhance students' professional development through workshops on basic research skills and seminars on science communication, ethics, graduate school, and career opportunities. Students will report their research in the form of a peer-reviewed journal article and a talk in the style of a scientific conference or a video for a general audience.

该建议支持培养30名气候科学研究本科生。这项提议为期三年。每年暑假期间，十名学生将有机会选择在多个学科进行研究，如大气科学、海洋学、陆地生态学、化学和生物地球化学。总体目标是通过尽可能接近地模拟研究生研究环境来吸引不同群体的学生参与气候科学研究。该计划完全沉浸在研究过程中，并辅之以每周的活动，通过基本研究技能研讨会和关于科学交流、伦理、研究生院和职业机会的研讨会来促进学生的专业发展。学生们将以同行评议的期刊文章的形式报告他们的研究，并以科学会议或视频的形式向普通观众发表演讲。
