[RegCNET] [Fwd: [ES_JOBS_NET] Early Career Workshop in Boulder: Regional Climate Issues, in Developing Countries (October 2011)]

[Sara Rauscher]

  Workshop on
  Regional Climate Issues
  in Developing Countries
  19-22 October 2011, Boulder CO USA

 

The Early Career Scientist Assembly (ECSA) 
<http://www.asp.ucar.edu/ecsa/ecsa.php> of the National Center for 
Atmospheric Research (NCAR) <http://ncar.ucar.edu/> invites early career 
scientists (post-graduates and researchers who received their Ph.D. in 
2005 or later) to attend a 3-day workshop in *connection with the WCRP 
Open Science Conference* in October 2011. The theme of the workshop is 
to examine the diversity of regional climate issues with a focus on 
developing countries, with topics including but not limited to: 
droughts, floods, heat waves, severe storms, sea level rise, water 
supplies, agricultural yields, the survival of native species, pollution 
and human health... 

We will select up to 40 participants who will explore how observations, 
modeling, analysis and process research can be used to address regional 
climate issues, to understand which developing regions are most at risk, 
and determine how regional climate projections can be improved. The 
primary goal of this workshop is to exchange ideas and establish 
collaborations for future work between early career scientists from 
across the world and those from developing countries.

The workshop will take part in October 19-22, 2011, prior to the Denver 
WCRP OSC, at NCAR in Boulder, Colorado (near Denver). The workshop will 
include scientific discussions, poster sessions, social activities and 
tours of NCAR and a nearby scientific facility. Early career scientists 
with backgrounds in regional climate, air and water quality and climate 
impacts (including societal impacts) are invited to *submit an 
application by April 15, 2011*. Your research should be on issues in 
developing countries or related issues that are transferable to 
developing countries.

The NCAR Early Career Scientist Assembly, sponsored by the Advanced 
Study Program will be able to provide funding for lodging, per-diem and 
local transportation (no airline flights) for participants who require 
support, with a priority given to participants from developing 
countries. Applicants are asked to submit their CV, an abstract 
describing their research, and state a preference as to whether they 
would like to present a scientific talk or a poster. In addition to 
financial support from the WCRP 
<http://conference2011.wcrp-climate.org/support.html> you can apply for 
travel support from NCAR for this workshop.
