UCI announces a 10-day Summer Institute for graduate students, R2R-CAL: Ridge to Reef - Climate and Life, that tackles climate-human-ecosystem interactions to impact management and decision making from local to global scales. R2R-CAL engages participants with interdisciplinary training to build deep understanding and effective modeling of coupled human-natural systems. Emphasis is placed on integrating theory, analysis of large data sets, and modeling across space and time scales, as well as translational research and co-generation of knowledge with stakeholders who critically need information to manage and preserve the environment.
Curriculum Highlights: Lecture, workshop, and field components Analysis of coupled systems including: Regional, climate model projections, Data mining and detection of trends, analysis of extreme events and remote sensing. Professional development skills improved through: science communication, policy and management. Open to all post-docs and graduate students. Enrollment, accommodation, and meals are covered by R2R-CAL. Participants cover travel expenses. A limited number of travel grants are available.
