Since 2003, DISCCRS has hosted symposia for early-career
researchers to catalyze formation of interdisciplinary collegial
networks, while fostering skills to better prepare graduates to
conduct collaborative research and respond to the myriad
challenges posed by climate change and its impacts. Participants
will share their research; engage in discussions with peers,
mentors, and funding agency representatives; and participate in
communication and team training. Thirty early-career scholars will
be selected through a review process with the expectation that
invitees will become leaders in their chosen fields. Airfare and
on-site expenses are supported through grants from NSF and NASA.<o:p></o:p></div>
