The Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Climate Change Research
(DISCCRS, pronounced *discourse*), connects *natural *and *social scientists
*engaged in research related to climate change, impacts and solutions. The
goal is to broaden perspectives and establish a collegial peer network to
address climate challenges at the interface of science and society. A report
and list of participants from the most recent symposium is available at
http://disccrs.org/reports/DISCCRS_IV_Symposium_Report.pdf

During the week-long symposium -- held in the Tonto National Forest
near Phoenix,
Arizona -- participants will present and discuss their research, hone
interdisciplinary communication and team skills, and discuss emerging
research, societal and professional issues with each other and with
established researchers invited to serve as mentors. Confirmed mentors
include Julia E. Cole (University of Arizona), Jonathan T. Overpeck
(University of Arizona), Billie L. Turner (Arizona State University), and
David A. Randall (Colorado State University).

Participation will be limited to thirty-four early career scholars
identified by an interdisciplinary committee of research scientists based on
review of submitted applications.
*
Eligibility:* PhD requirements completed April 1, 2007 - July 31,
