Conference: Increasing Opportunities in the Mountain Climate Science Community with Support to the 2022 MtnClim Conference September 12-16, 2022

该奖项支持学生和早期职业研究人员参加将于2022年9月12日至16日举行的山地气候（MtnClim）会议。MtnClim会议的重点是山区气候科学和气候变化对生态系统和自然资源的影响。会议邀请并提供了关于山区气候科学各个方面的演讲，海报会议和工作组会议，包括水文学，生态学和冰川学。每一次MtnClim会议都包括对自然资源管理者有价值的会议或研讨会，讨论气候变异性和气候变化对保护和资源管理的影响。与会者来自不同领域，包括各机构和部落的土地管理人员、非政府组织的自然资源从业人员和学术界人士。今年会议的主题是科学促进山区决策。该奖项是促进访问会议，并增加了学生和早期职业参与者的机会。参与者支助的重点是传统上在山区科学界代表性不足的社区以及早期职业科学家。除了资助学生外，会议还将举办活动，以培养学生和早期职业参与者的归属感和包容感。其中包括关于多样性，公平和包容性的小组，与导师合作，学生和早期职业参与者的同行会议，以及专业发展机会。该奖项由水文科学和北极自然科学项目共同资助。该奖项反映了NSF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 is supporting participation by students and early-career researchers in the Mountain Climate (MtnClim) conference to be held September 12-16, 2022. The MtnClim conference is focused on mountain climate sciences and the effects of climate variability on ecosystems and natural resources. The conference features invited and contributed talks, poster sessions, and working-group sessions on various aspects of mountain climate science including hydrology, ecology, and glaciology. Every MtnClim meeting includes sessions or workshops of value to natural-resource managers addressing implications of climate variability and climate change in conservation and resource management. Conference attendees span a range of participants including land managers from agencies and tribes, natural resource practitioners from non-governmental organizations, and academics. The theme of this year’s conference is Science for Decision-Making in Mountains. The award is facilitating access to the conference and increasing the opportunity for student and early-career participants. The participant support is focused on communities traditionally under-represented in the mountain science community as well as early career scientists. In addition to funding students, events will be included at the meeting to foster a sense of belonging and inclusion for students and early career participants. These include panels on diversity, equity, and inclusion, partnering with mentors, peer meetings of student and early career participants, and professional development opportunities. This award is co-funded by the Hydrologic Sciences and Arctic Natural Sciences programs.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.
