[DIALOGnews] DISCCRS Working Group Report on Climate Change

[Susan Weiler]

Dear all,

I wanted to alert you that the DISCCRS Working Group report on 'The 
Ideal PhD Program for Climate Change Research' has just been placed 
on the phd webpage--you can access it by going to 
http://aslo.org/phd.html and clicking on "Climate Change Graduate 
Education' on the right-hand side of the page, OR you can bookmark 
the exact site by going to
http://aslo.org/phd/disccrsclimatechange.pdf

I thank all the DISCCRS participants for their work on this project, 
and especially Sheldon Drobot and Dave Porinchu---Sheldon and Dave 
did an absolutely splendid job of pulling together all the thoughts 
into one cohesive document!

I think this report will be a splendid resource. While it gives some 
overarching recommendations that are useful for those wishing to 
develop new institutes, there is also a lot of concrete hands-on 
advice that can be done by any one person wishing to do a little more 
in the context of a small institution with a limited budget. Fine 
work! I encourage you all to read this document.

cheers, sue
