IRES: U.S.-Norway: Globalizing Perspectives on Climate Change and Ecosystem Health--Opportunities for Undergraduate Participation in Science and Policy

这项面向学生的国际研究体验（IRES）活动将蒙大拿州立大学的研究人员和导师与挪威卑尔根大学和特隆赫姆科技大学的同行联系起来。技术重点反映了美国和挪威团队在三个领域的互补优势和共同利益：1)在自然变率背景下的气候变化的探测、测量和归因；2)通过碳封存和土地利用减缓气候变化及其影响；3)全球气候变化的经济和政策影响。首席研究员Steve K. Holmgren和来自蒙大拿州立大学的同事将与卑尔根的Bjorn Kvamme领导的挪威合作伙伴合作，采用平衡的、以团队为基础的方法，为本科生提供在考试、气候变化和碳封存等及时领域的教育和研究经验。每年，该合作项目将为四名美国本科生提供研究经验，他们将前往卑尔根和特隆赫姆，与美国和挪威的导师以及挪威的学生一起，就地球化学、地球化学与地质力学之间的耦合以及与二氧化碳储存有关的策略等主题进行研究。学生参与者将被分配项目，这些项目旨在为整个项目的研究目标和他们的专业发展做出贡献。总的来说，这种合作交流应该有助于研究人员和学生参与者对碳捕获和储存的未来选择以及清洁能源技术的潜力的理解。美国与挪威的IRES合作实现了培养全球科学家和工程师的计划目标，使美国和欧洲的专家能够在共同感兴趣和有能力的领域结合互补的人才，分享研究和教育资源。更广泛的影响包括通过在挪威主要研究机构的一个学习项目，向国际社会的领导人介绍美国学生，包括印第安人。IRES的教育价值在于学生参与其导师的前沿研究，并接触与碳捕获和封存相关的机遇和全球挑战。

OISE 0651674HolmgrenThis International Research Experience for Students (IRES) activity links researchers and mentors at Montana State University with Norwegian counterparts at the University of Bergen and the University of Science and Technology, in Trondheim. The technical focus reflects the U.S. and Norwegian team's complementary strengths and mutual interest in three areas: 1) detection, measurement and attribution of climate change against a background of natural variability, 2) mitigation of climate change and its impacts through carbon sequestration and land use, and 3) the economic and policy implications of global climate change. Principal investigator, Steve K. Holmgren, and colleagues from Montana State University will work with Norwegian partners, led by Bjorn Kvamme in Bergen, to manage a balanced, team-based approach to providing undergraduate students with education and research experience in timely areas for examination, climate change and carbon sequestration.Annually, the collaborative program will provide research experience for four U.S. undergraduate students who will travel to Bergen and Trondheim to work with U.S. and Norwegian mentors, as well as Norwegian students, on topics such as geochemistry, couplings between geochemistry and geomechanics, and strategies related to storage of CO2. Student participants will be assigned projects that are designed to contribute to program-wide research goals as well as their professional development Overall, this cooperative exchange should contribute to both the researchers' and the student participants' understanding of future options for carbon capture and storage as well as the potential of clean energy technologies.This U.S.-Norway IRES collaboration fulfills the program objective of developing global scientists and engineers by enabling experts in the United States and Europe to combine complementary talents and share research and education resources in an area of strong mutual interest and competence. Broader impacts include the introduction of U.S. students, including Native Americans, to leaders in the international community through a program of study at leading Norwegian research institutions. The educational value of the IRES rests with the students' involvement in their mentors' cutting-edge research and exposure to the opportunities and global challenges associated with carbon capture and sequestration.
