Each November, U.S. CLIVAR issues a call for new panel members to fill openings created as existing members rotate off. You may nominate yourself or others. Look for the announcement in EOS, our monthly newsgram or contact the current panel chairs directly. The announcements identify the specific expertise being sought to help broaden and balance representation on each panel. Members typically serve three years and are expected to participate in telecon meetings and attend the annual U.S. CLIVAR Summit each summer. Please visit the panel webpages to review their terms of reference and current membership.
Typically each fall, U.S. CLIVAR solicits prospectuses for new limited-lifetime working groups to accelerate progress within the community on a specific research topic of priority relevance to U.S. CLIVAR. Announcements inviting new working groups are provided in the U.S. CLIVAR monthly newsgram and on the U.S. CLIVAR website. Prospectuses identify potential members and the U.S. CLIVAR Scientific Steering Committee approves the core membership of up to 12 U.S. scientists. Visit working group webpages to view successful prospectuses, their membership and accomplishments.
Five U.S. agencies (NASA, NOAA, NSF, DoE and ONR) fund research grants to address priority goals and objectives of the U.S. CLIVAR program. New grant solicitations are announced on the U.S. CLIVAR homepage and through our monthly newsgrams. You may also contact an agency program manager directly to explore interest in your proposed project. U.S. CLIVAR agency managers are listed on the Interagency Group webpage.
U.S. CLIVAR sponsors several open science meetings, workshops and conferences each year to provide an opportunity for a community of scientists to share research findings and plan coordinated research activities on topics of priority interest to U.S. CLIVAR. Announcements of open meetings are broadcast through the U.S. CLIVAR newsgram, newsletter, and website. Travel and registration fees are typically the responsibility of the individual scientist. If you are interested in organizing such a meeting, please contact us for instructions on how to prepare a meeting proposal for consideration by the U.S. CLIVAR funding agencies.
U.S. CLIVAR publishes a quarterly electronic newsletter featuring science articles, workshop summaries, and news of the U.S. CLIVAR program. We also produce a monthly newsgram to provide timely information on upcoming meetings, announcements of climate research grant opportunities, and position vacancies of potential interest to the climate research community.
