>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.
