Organization: CliC
Apply By: 01 Mar 2023
Grant Amount: 891907 INR
About the Organization
The Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) Core Project is a global community of dedicated and enthusiastic researchers with expertise and knowledge of the cryosphere and its interactions with the climate system. CliC expertise spans simulation, modelling, field observations, process studies, and includes cross-disciplinary work and stakeholder engagement. CliC is one of the Core Projects of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP, www. wcrp-climate.org).
CliC identifies key research questions, priorities, gaps, and challenges pertaining to the cryosphere and its interaction with the global climate system and coordinates international activities to help address them. CliC highlights emerging issues, facilitates exchanges amongst scientists and, with relevant external stakeholders, promotes international cooperation. CliC also communicates cryosphere related science to policymakers, funding agencies, and the general public. To ensure that we are preparing for the future, CliC takes a leading role in promoting early career researcher development, including through fellowships.
