The Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Climate Change
Research (DISCCRS), connects natural and social scientists engaged in
research related to climate change, impacts and solutions. The goal is
to broaden perspectives and establish a collegial peer network to
address climate challenges at the interface of science and society. The
DISCCRS IV week-long symposium will be held in the Tonto National Forest
outside Phoenix, Arizona. Participants will provide oral and poster
presentations in plenary format, hone interdisciplinary communication
and team skills, and discuss emerging research, societal and
professional issues. Established researchers are invited to serve as
mentors. To view the report and participants from last year's
symposium, please go to:

Participation will be limited to thirty-four early career scholars
identified by an interdisciplinary committee of research scientists
based on review of submitted applications. Airfare and on-site expenses
will be defrayed.
To be eligible, participants must have completed their PhD requirements
between 1 April 2006 and 31 March 2008. Applications are encouraged from the
natural and social sciences, economics, mathematics, engineering, or any
other field so long as the research focus relates to climate change
issues. Selection will favor those with interdisciplinary, collaborative
interests. While the emphasis is on the US research system, applicants
from all countries will be considered.
