DISCCRS (pronounced "discourse") is an interdisciplinary initiative for
recent Ph.D. graduates conducting research related to climate change
and its
impacts. The goal is to broaden research interests and establish a
collegial
peer network extending across the spectrum of NATURAL and SOCIAL
SCIENCES,
HUMANITIES, MATHEMATICS, ENGINEERING and other disciplines related to
climate change and its impacts. The initiative includes a public
webpage,
electronic newsletter, and annual symposia funded through 2008.
Expenses: Airfare and on-site expenses are provided through NSF grant
EAR-0435728 to Whitman College.

Eligibility: Ph.D. requirements related to climate change and impacts.
Recent Ph.D. graduates from all disciplines and countries are invited
to
join the DISCCRS network and apply to be a DISCCRS symposium scholar.

Thirty-six applicants will be selected by an interdisciplinary
committee of
research scientists. During the week participants will provide oral and
poster presentations in plenary format, hone interdisciplinary
communication
and team skills, and discuss emerging research, societal and
professional
issues with each other and with established researchers invited to
serve as
mentors. Mentors for DISCCRS III are:
