Workshop on |
The Early Career Scientist Assembly (ECSA) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) hosts a 3-day workshop for early career scientists (post-graduates and researchers who received their Ph.D. in 2005 or later) 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... see agenda. Forty participants have been selected and have explored 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 includes scientific discussions, poster sessions, social activities and tours of NCAR and a nearby scientific facility. The NCAR Early Career Scientist Assembly, sponsored by the Advanced Study Program have provided funding for lodging, per-diem and local transportation (no airline flights) for participants who required support, with a priority given to participants from developing countries. This meeting is sponsored by the Advanced Study Program and organized by the Early Career Scientist Assembly (ECSA) Steering Committee, National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).
