2018 Graduate Climate Conference: Pack Center, University of Washington, November 2-4 2018

该奖项支持将于2018年11月2日至11月4日在华盛顿大学帕克中心举行的第12届研究生气候会议（GCC）。GCC是由研究生组织并面向研究生的年度跨学科气候科学会议。它为学生提供了一个讨论论坛，供他们在各种学科中进行气候研究，包括大气动力学、海洋动力学、海洋生物学和化学、大气化学、气候动力学、古气候以及气候变率和变化的人类维度。会议的目的是帮助学生熟悉气候科学的广度，获得可用于解决气候相关问题的大量工具，并了解他们的研究如何适应当前气候科学的更广阔的前景。会议旨在为研究生在一个越来越需要跨学科方法的领域进行科学探究做好更好的准备。这里提供的资金支持60多名学生的旅行和生活，这些学生是通过竞争程序选出的，该程序强调选择反映下一代科学家多样性的申请人，并承认广泛的地理和种族背景的价值。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award supports the 12th Graduate Climate Conference (GCC), to be held at the Pack Center of the University of Washington from November 2nd to November 4th 2018. The GCC is an annual interdisciplinary climate science conference organized by and for graduate students. It provides a discussion forum for students conducting research on climate in a variety of disciplines including atmospheric dynamics, ocean dynamics, ocean biology and chemistry, atmospheric chemistry, climate dynamics, paleoclimate, and human dimensions of climate variability and change. The meeting is intended to help students familiarize themselves with the breadth of climate science, gain exposure to the enormous range of tools available to address climate-related questions, and understand how their research fits into the broader landscape of current climate science. The conference seeks to better prepare graduate students for scientific inquiry in a field that increasingly demands interdisciplinary approaches. Funds provided here support travel and subsistence for over 60 students chosen through a competitive process which places emphasis on selecting a cross-section of applicants that reflects the diversity of the next generation of scientists, and recognizes the value in a wide range of geographic and ethnic backgrounds.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
