>DISCCRS (pronounced "discourse") is an interdisciplinary initiative
>for recent Ph.D. graduates conducting research related to climate
>change and its impacts. The goal is to broaden research interests
>and establish a collegial peer network extending across the spectrum
>of NATURAL and SOCIAL SCIENCES, HUMANITIES, MATHEMATICS, ENGINEERING
>and other disciplines related to climate change and its impacts. The
>initiative includes a public webpage, electronic newsletter, and
>annual symposia funded through 2008.
