Climate scientists have documented a pronounced slowdown
in the Pacific Ocean atmospheric system that drives the
trade winds, a prediction of global warming theory that
appears to be coming true. . . The new research was led by Gabriel Vecchi,

(UCAR) announces the continuation
of the NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellowship
Program.
UCAR manages this NOAA-sponsored program, which pairs recently
graduated postdoctorates with host scientists at U.S. institutions
to work in an area of mutual interest. The objective of the NOAA
Climate & Global Change Postdoctoral Program is to help create
the next generation of researchers needed for climate studies.
Applications are solicited from qualified postdoctoral candidates.
Preference is given to those who have held a PhD for no more
than five years. Awardees must change institutions in the absence
of compelling circumstances.View job announcement
