GRADUATE RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS CIRES supports two prestigious student fellowship programs, the ESRL-CIRES Fellowship, begun in 2008 with the support of NOAA’s Earth System Research Laboratory, and the long-established CIRES Graduate Student Research Fellowship. For 2010–2011, CIRES awarded CIRES Graduate Student Research Fellowships to six students. This year’s recipients are exploring topics ranging from the influence of fish-stocking in mountain lakes to an investigation into the sources of ambient aerosol and chemical transformations in the atmosphere. The ESRL-CIRES Fellowships will be awarded in 2012 and funded by participating ESRL divisions. CIRES Graduate Student Research Fellowships CIRES’ Graduate Student Research Fellowships attract outstanding students at the outset of their graduate careers, and let current students emphasize the completion and publication of their research results. Support ranges from a summer stipend to tuition, stipend and partial health insurance for 12 months. Fellowships are restricted to doctoral graduate students advised by a CIRES Fellow, or any prospective or current graduate student who might be advised by a CIRES Fellow. Evaluation by a committee of CIRES Fellows is based on the candidate’s university application, academic achievements and the likelihood of his or her contribution to environmental science. Independence, passion for science and ability to communicate are also considered. 2010–2011 CIRES GRADUATE STUDENT RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP RECIPIENTS Kelli Archie CIRES Ph.D. student: Environmental Studies n Advisor: Lisa Dilling n Archie’s research focuses on climate change adaptation, in particular decision-maker information demand. air density.

Ulyana Nadia Horodyskyj n CIRES Ph.D. student: Geological Sciences n Advisor: Roger Bilham n Horodyskyj’s research focuses on the formation and evolution of supra-glacial lakes on glaciers in the Himalaya and Karakoram. Rui Li n CIRES Ph.D. student: Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences n Advisor: Joost de Gouw n Li’s research focuses on the use of mass spectrometry to determine emissions and chemistry of atmospheric trace species. Ryan Thalman n CIRES Ph.D. student: Chemistry and Biochemistry n Advisor: Rainer Volkamer n Thalman’s research topic is on the measurement of atmospherically relevant trace gases in the laboratory and field using Light-emitting Diode Cavity Enhanced Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy. Pablo Mendoza Zuniga n CIRES Ph.D. student: Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering n Advisor: Balaji Rajagopalan n Zuniga’s research focuses on flood forecasting and uncertainty treatment in hydrologic modeling.
DIVERSITY AND UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH CIRES is involved in many important efforts to educate undergraduate students and involve them in hands-on research. The two programs highlighted below are Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science Program (SOARS) and the Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP). SOARS Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science Program (SOARS) is a learning community and mentoring program for promoting ethnic and gender equity in the atmospheric and related sciences. The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) created and administers the highly regarded program, and CIRES partners with NCAR to provide a wider range of research options for students, called protégés. SOARS provides four years of mentorship—and summer research experience—for undergraduate and graduate protégés majoring in an atmospheric science or related field. n More: http://www.ucar.edu/soars/ 2010 SOARS PROTÉGÉS Matthew Burger n Research: The effects of the 8.2 ka event on the Intertropical Convergence Zone in the Tropical Atlantic n CIRES Mentor: Lesley Smith Javier Lujan n Research: Understanding profiler observations of the stratocumulus topped marine boundary layer with the assistance of ceilometer data n CIRES Mentors: Leslie Hartten and Paul Johnston UROP The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) creates research partnerships between faculty and undergraduate students. UROP-supported work is diverse, including traditional scientific experimentation and the creation of new artistic works. The program awards stipends and/or expense allowances to students who undertake an investigative or creative project with a faculty member. Although projects are normally designed around some aspect of the faculty sponsor’s research, they may also develop from original ideas of the student, endorsed by a faculty sponsor. n More: http://www.colorado.edu/Research/UROP/ 2010 UROP PROGRAM RECIPIENTS Phillip Chen n Project: Combining roughness measures from satellite and airborne campaigns to learn about Earth surfaces and environments: Glaciers, sea ice, forests and more n Faculty or CIRES sponsor: Ute Herzfeld Rachel Ertz n Project: The response of foliar nitrogen to mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) infestation n Faculty or CIRES sponsor: William Lewis Brian McDonald n Project: Combining roughness measures from satellite and airborne campaigns to learn about Earth surfaces and environments: Glaciers, sea ice, forests and more n Faculty or CIRES sponsor: Ute Herzfeld CIRES Annual Report 2011 81
