AIMES Young Scholar's Network:

An International Network for Earth System Science

Our goal is to foster collaborations among Young Scientists and Scholars on integrative research to better understand the role of humans in perturbing biogeochemistry and climate.

We plan workshops, casual meetings, forums and an interactive website to promote collaborations. An important aspect of this network is its integrative and international nature.

Benefits of the Network to Participants Include:

• Meet other young scientists from around the world and from different disciplines.
• Exchange advice and contacts regarding developing scientific careers.
• Seek feedback on your work, its applicability to other disciplines and publishing opportunities.
• Become part of a network of future scientific leaders, including those like yourself who could become journal editors, research grant donors and department heads.
• Develop international and cross-disciplinary collaborations, leading to cutting-edge science.
• Foster science education, outreach and in-reach by learning and teaching your peers and their non-scientific scommunities about your work.

		First Young Scholar's Network Meeting! The AIMES Young Scientist's Meeting had their first workshop in Breckenridge, Colorado June 23-25, 2005. A workshop report was published in EOS Transactions that highlighted this event. The YSN workshop was Sponsored by NCAR (SERE, ASP and CCSM), NSF and AIMES.

Participant Web Site (Private)

To become a member of the network, you can be recommended from an existing member or send a statement of research, a statement describing how the postdoc network can serve you, and a letter of recommendation to: asp-ysn@asp.ucar.edu.

The AIMES YSN has a goal of integrated earth system science. Other, more specialized young scientist networks that we know of follow:
