Immersive Undergraduate Research Experience
The global climate is changing rapidly, already impacting both human and natural systems. Over the next few decades, changes in temperature, precipitation, and climatic variability are expected to drive even more change. As impacts become more pervasive, human and natural systems will accelerate adaptation. To face these challenges, the world needs a diverse group of leaders versed in the challenges of climate adaptation, aware of the multi-disciplinary nature of impacts, representative of the nation, capable of strong communication, and interested in policy-relevant science.
The goals of the Climate Adaptation Scientists of Tomorrow Program are to:
-
Increase Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM)
-
Cultivate the next generation of climate scientists
-
Foster climate science programs at Minority Serving Institutions (Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal College and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, Asian American and Pacific Islander Serving Institutions)
