The National Center for Atmospheric Research and the US Department of Agriculture are hosting a joint workshop in Boulder CO on July 12-15 on climate change, global food security and the US food system. Applications are due by June 1. If you are selected, you will receive travel support and per diem. You can read more about it and get an application form here.
Here is a description of the workshop: The workshop features lectures from domain experts, hands-on GIS exercises, a poster session, and a field trip. Participants will gain knowledge of a broader framework for interdisciplinary science, research tools, and data sources that they can incorporate into specific projects at their home institutions as well as in their communities. The GIS training will focus on integrating spatial information about climate change, agriculture, and food security in a meaningful and innovative way. The workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to share their knowledge and experience to promote collaborations among the participants and NCAR researchers. All participants are encouraged to present a poster about their research.
Students and early-career researchers from Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges, and Hispanic-Serving Institutions are especially encouraged to apply.
