IPCC Scholarship

The IPCC Scholarship Programme has been established with the funds received on the occasion of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize award to the IPCC. The first funding partner of the Programme is Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, Former Norwegian Prime Minister and UN Special Envoy on Climate Change. The goal of this programme is to help strengthen the scientific and technical capability in developing countries to contribute to climate science and research and to develop and implement climate change policies and measures at the domestic and international level. It aims to provide a sound knowledge base and stimulate institutional strengthening in developing countries. Priorities will include research on climate processes, the impacts of climate change in the most vulnerable regions of the world, the potential for adaptation and mitigation, and sustainable development.

NOAA Science Missions and Data

This link http://www.noaa.gov/sciencemissions/bpoilspill.html will take you to the NOAA Science Missions and Data Web page. As you all know, NOAA has undertaken a variety of research and monitoring activities in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster. The Science Missions and Data page will be updated periodically with the results of and data from those activities; these might prove useful in putting together a research proposal of your own.

Also, the NOAA External Affairs Web page is a source for a wide selection of oil spill-related information, services, and products.

Fwd: [SGRFP-L] Oil Spill Research Activities Clearinghouse

RE: Oil Spill Research Activities Clearinghouse

Greetings,

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill may have fundamentally changed research activities in the Gulf of Mexico for the immediate and long term. Federal, state, regional and research based organizations have identified the need for a database of oil spill activities. This was recently discussed at the Gulf Oil Spill Scientific Symposium and at several other meetings and workshops.

The Gulf of Mexico Sea Grant College Programs and NOAA's National Coastal Data Development Center have developed and several Gulf of Mexico regional groups are endorsing an online database to house brief descriptions of oil spill related research, monitoring, and restoration activities.

If you are conducting Gulf of Mexico oil spill related research, monitoring, or restoration activities please visit the database at: http://gulfseagrant.org/oilspill/database.htm to share the activities that you have under way regardless of the funding source. The database form is very short and will take less than five minutes to complete per activity. Sharing this information will assist the Gulf of Mexico research community and others identify the work that is being completed and gaps that need to be filled.

If you are not conducting these types of oil spill activities but wish to view activities you can perform specific queries of the database at the same website. As people enter their activities the database will grow so check the site often.

Sincerely,

Gulf of Mexico Alliance Data Management Advisory Committee
