Abstract

After a detailed review process, 60 individuals were chosen to receive NASA Graduate Student Fellowships in Global Change Research for the 1991–92 academic year. The recipients represent 37 academic institutions from 23 states and 12 countries. The research topics of the new fellows fall into five basic categories: biogeochemical dynamics, climate and hydrological systems, ecological system and dynamics, and solid Earth processes.The Global Change Fellowship program was created to provide financial support for graduate students to pursue advanced degrees in the Earth sciences. The program trains a pool of scientists to help analyze and interpret the wealth of data generated during the Earth Observing System era. Initiated in 1990, the fellowship program was originally envisioned to scale up to fund 150 graduate students prior to the launch of the first EOS program, and to remain at that level during the life of the EOS mission. Due to the overwhelming response over its first two years, the program has already achieved 65% of this commitment.
