Hello CEE Grad Students,

Given the importance of climate change research, and the relevance of this topic to many CEE research projects, CEE will contribute funding for the 2022 Graduate Climate Conference to be held at the UW Pack Forest Conference Center. We encourage graduate students working in the broad area of climate change to participate in this conference, which is organized by graduate students for graduate students.

Planning is underway for the sixteenth annual Graduate Climate Conference (GCC), which is scheduled as an in-person conference for the weekend of October 28 – 30, 2022 at the University of Washington Pack Forest Conference Center. The GCC is a conference in which graduate students organize speakers and presentations for graduate students, facilitating interdisciplinary research-related discussions between our peers. Since its inception in 2006, the GCC has steadily grown to reach a broad scope, with participants from the 2021 GCC representing 60 U.S. and international institutions. This is a unique opportunity for graduate students to present and share research on climate-related topics and an excellent way for UW students to gain experience as organizers and leaders while promoting our university within the greater climate change science community.

For reference, we have included the links to GCCs from previous years: 2020, 2019. I’m happy to answer any questions that you might have about this year’s event.
