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

OISE 0651674霍尔姆这个国际学生研究经验（IRES）活动将蒙大拿州立大学的研究人员和导师与卑尔根大学和特隆赫姆科技大学的挪威同行联系起来。 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）在自然变率背景下对气候变化的检测，测量和归因，2）通过碳封存和土地利用缓解气候变化及其影响，以及3）全球气候变化的经济和政策影响。 首席研究员史蒂夫·K Holmgren和蒙大拿州立大学的同事们将与挪威合作伙伴合作，由卑尔根的Bjorn Kvamme领导，管理一种平衡的，以团队为基础的方法，为本科生提供及时的考试，气候变化和碳封存领域的教育和研究经验。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导师以及挪威学生，主题包括地球化学、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战略。 学生参与者将被分配项目，旨在促进整个计划的研究目标，以及他们的专业发展 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了解碳捕获和储存的未来选择以及清洁能源技术的潜力。挪威IRES合作实现了发展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联合收割机互补人才，并在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域共享研究和教育资源。 更广泛的影响包括通过在挪威领先的研究机构的学习计划，将美国学生，包括美洲原住民，介绍给国际社会的领导人。IRES的教育价值在于学生参与导师的前沿研究，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.
