2016 Graduate Climate Conference; Seattle, Washington; October 28-30, 2016

该奖项为第10届年度研究生气候会议（GCC）提供支持，该会议将于2016年10月28日至30日在华盛顿的森林会议中心大学举行。GCC的目标是为研究生提供一个讨论论坛，研究气候过程的学科，主题包括大气/海洋动力学，地球化学循环，云和气溶胶，冰冻圈过程，气候反馈，古气候，区域气候，气候影响，以科学为基础的气候政策和人类影响。 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。会议允许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。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中进行科学探究。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 10th annual Graduate Climate Conference (GCC), to be held at the University of Washington's Pack Forest Conference Center, October 28-30, 2016. The goal of the GCC is to provide a discussion forum for graduate students undertaking research on climate processes over an array of disciplines, with topics including atmosphere/ocean dynamics, biogeochemical cycles, clouds and aerosols, cryosphere processes, climate feedbacks, paleoclimate, regional climate, climate impacts, science-based climate policy, and human impacts. 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. The meeting 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. The goal is 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.
