The Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University announces the
availability of travel grants for graduate students and young
investigators at U.S. institutions to attend two Antarctic meteorology
meetings being held in Italy in June-July 2007.
The 2nd Antarctic Meteorological Observation, Modeling, and Forecasting
Workshop (AMOMFW) is being held in Rome, Italy, on 26-28 June 2007.
AMOMFW (http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/rt/amps/pages/events.html) brings
together international students and investigators with interests in
Antarctic meteorology and numerical weather prediction. The workshop is
an excellent opportunity to view and discuss the most recent and
important atmospheric research being conducted in Antarctica.
The International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics General Assembly
(http://www.iugg2007perugia.it) is being held in Perugia, Italy, on 2-13
July 2007 and includes symposia on Antarctic meteorology and related
sciences.
With funding from the NSF Office of Polar Programs, approximately ten
grants in the range of $3,500 USD will be awarded for travel support to
participate in both Antarctic meteorology meetings. Applicants must be
graduate students or recent PhD recipients (within the last five years)
enrolled at or employed by a U.S. institution. Qualified candidates from
under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply. Successful
applicants must present a lecture or poster at one or both of the
meetings.
