The Global Change Education Program (GCEP) promotes undergraduate and graduate education/training in support of the DOE global change research activities. GCEP has two components as shown below:
· The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) is a ten-week research program.
· The Graduate Research Environmental Fellowships (GREF) is a fellowship program for students who have successfully completed at least one year of graduate school.
Global change research encompasses a variety of technical areas including atmospheric sciences, ecology, global carbon cycles, climate modeling, and terrestrial processes. Since 2005, GCEP has focused attention on aerosols and their radiative effects in coordination with the change in the CCRD Atmospheric Science Program’s focus in atmospheric chemistry and physics. CCRD supports global change research through its Atmospheric Science Program (ASP), Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM), Terrestrial Carbon Processes (TCP), Program for Ecosystem Research (PER), and the National Institute for Climate Change Research (NICCR). Currently, ASP and ARM research projects are examining aerosols and their radiative effects, and the formation of clouds and their impacts on climate, respectively. TCP and PER projects are focused on understanding the terrestrial ecosystems and their effectiveness in sequestering carbon. Other studies address integrated assessments of Global Climate Change and Information Integration.
For more details about GCEP-SURE and –GREF, and to access electronic applications, please visit the website (see top of page). The application deadline is 04 February 2008, so you still have time to apply. Contact Barbara Dunkin at (865) 574-6440 orBarbara.dunkin@orau.org if you have questions.
