 Visiting Fellows work with CIRES researchers on a wide range of environmental science topics. The CIRES Visiting Fellows Program has attracted more than 350 scientists from around the world over the past 50 years; many have gone on to lasting careers in CIRES
 and NOAA. We encourage applications from members of groups under-represented in the environmental sciences and related disciplines.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
