The U.S. Department of Energy-Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) funds the Global Change Education Program (GCEP) to promote undergraduate and graduate education and training supportive of the Department's global change research activities.
Global change research encompasses a number of technical areas, including atmospheric sciences, ecology, global carbon cycles, climate, and terrestrial processes. Global change research is supported by BER through the following:
Atmospheric System Research (ASR)
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility (ACRF)
Terrestrial Carbon Processes (TCP) effort
Program for Ecosystem Research (PER), and studies carried out under the direction of the National Institute for Climate Change Research (NICCR)
Climate Change Prediction Program (CCPP)
Integrated Assessment Program (IAP)
These programs focus efforts to better understand Earth system processes and to provide the best possible scientific information to policy and/or decision makers.
The DOE Climate Change Research Program’s Strategic Plan (see http://www.sc.doe.gov/ober/Climate%20Strategic%20Plan.pdf) describes the scientific rationale for addressing the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on Earth's climate and biosphere to support decision making efforts concerning effective energy and environmental policies.
GCEP has two components: the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) and the Graduate Research Environmental Fellowships (GREF).
SURE's primary goal is to involve undergraduate students at the end of their sophomore or junior year in BER-supported global change research, then continue this experience during subsequent undergraduate summers. To further improve the quality of emerging scientists in disciplines related to global change research, SURE students are encouraged to apply for GREF graduate fellowships and to pursue graduate education opportunities.
GREF's primary goal is to support research designed and conducted collaboratively between graduate students/faculty advisors and DOE researchers at national laboratories or universities. GREF research must be aligned with the technical areas cited above. GREF graduates are encouraged to continue climate change careers in postdoctoral and permanent positions in academia, government laboratories, and industry.
