2014 Graduate Climate Conference; Eatonville, Washington; October 31-November 2, 2014

该奖项为第八届年度研究生气候会议提供支持，该会议将于2014年11月31日至11月2日在华盛顿的森林会议中心大学举行。 海湾合作委员会的目标是为研究生提供一个讨论论坛，这些研究生从事一系列学科的气候过程研究，包括大气、生物、地球和海洋科学，以及气候变异性和气候变化的人类层面。 这是一个独特的环境，将研究生聚集在一个由研究生专门组织的环境中，讨论气候科学的当前研究。学院，单届格式的目的是让研究生学习气候系统的一个方面的研究，其他毕业生正在做的气候系统的各个方面。这个机会使研究生熟悉气候科学的广度以及可用于帮助回答复杂问题的大量工具。通过这次跨学科会议，我们的目标是更好地准备研究生在一个越来越需要跨学科方法的世界科学探究。 大约90名通过竞争过程选出的研究生将参加海湾合作委员会。 NSF的资金将用于为来自美国机构的40名学生提供旅行和生活费。

This award provides support to the 8th annual Graduate Climate Conference, to be held at the University of Washington's Pack Forest Conference Center, Octoberst 31 to November 2nd 2014. The goal of the GCC is to provide a discussion forum for graduate students undertaking research on climate processes over an array of disciplines, including atmospheric, biological, earth, and ocean sciences, as well as human dimensions of climate variability and climate change. This is a unique setting, bringing together graduate students in a environment organized exclusively by graduate students to discuss current research in climate science. The collegial, single-session format is designed to expose graduate students studying a single aspect of the climate system to the research that other graduates are doing in all aspects of the climate system. This opportunity allows graduate students to familiarize themselves with the breadth of climate science as well as the enormous range of tools available to help answer complex questions. Through this interdisciplinary conference, we aim to better prepare graduate students for scientific inquiry in a world that increasingly demands interdisciplinary approaches. Approximately 90 graduate students selected through a competitive process will attend the GCC. NSF funds will be used to provide travel and subsistence for 40 students from US institutions.
