Abstract:
The
abstract should be a short, concise description of the research area and
the project to be pursued in the student's doctoral research.
Background:
Provide a brief introduction and history of the research area to be
addressed and its importance to global change research. Establish
the connection between the research area and the current DOE Office of
Biological and Environmental Research (DOE-OBER) Global Change Research
efforts. Identify the specific DOE-OBER program(s) that the
research would support: Atmospheric Science Program (ASP),
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program, Terrestrial Carbon
Program (TCP), etc. Define the problem to be addressed.
Objectives: Give
the basic reasons for the research. Outline and describe the
specific aspects of the research problem to be studied.
Approach:
Briefly describe the methods to be used to perform the research, but
with sufficient detail to demonstrate a sound understanding of the topic
area and the appropriateness of the methods to be used to attack the
research problem.
Mentors for GREF
Project: Briefly describe the backgrounds and expertise of both
the DOE and graduate school mentors. Specify the current program
and the project title under which the mentor at the DOE National
Laboratory or Global Change Research Institution is currently funded by
DOE-OBER.
References:
Identify references by placing a superscript numeral at the end of the
sentence in which the reference is cited. List
literature citations in the following general format:
1. J.S. Gaffney
and N.S. Marley, Uncertainties in Climate Change Predictions:
Aerosol Effects. Atmospheric Environment, 32,
2873-2874 (1998).
