under uncertainty to propose summer research projects centered on SCRiM themes. Appropriate projects might include modeling experiments using simple Earth system and/or economic models, analyses of geophysical datasets (observed or modeled), or meta-analyses
based on synthesis of existing literature. Although projects will be largely self-directed, participants will be mentored and supported by SCRiM researchers as they develop and execute their research agenda.</span></p>
