DIACES is sponsored by NOAA CSCOR/COP. Recent PhDs are targeted in order
to introduce new graduates to the community, foster early career development,
and forge lasting collegial bonds across peer groups.
Ph.D. DISSERTATION REGISTRY
Dissertation abstracts are collected and posted in a searchable format, providing
a concise overview of the field and highlighting individual accomplishments.
Graduates completing PhD requirements after January 1, 2000 are encouraged
to register. Demographic information for population characterization is collected
confidentially along with PhD dissertation abstracts. At the end of the 2-year
program cycle, participants receive an abstract book, peer directory and demographic
report.
Once registered, graduates are included on an e-mail list to foster cross-institutional
communication and distribute job and other information.
DIACES SYMPOSIUM
The Dissertations Symposium for the Advancement of Coastal,
Estuarine and Great Lakes Science, DIACES, will catalyze early career
development and collaborations leading to interdisciplinary understanding
of these unique environments, including human impacts.

Copamarina Resort, Puerto Rico
During this week-long event: 1) Participants will present and
discuss their Ph.D. and current pursuits; 2) Working groups will discuss emerging
aquatic-science research, education, career and societal issues; 3) Specialists
will provide training in communication and project management skills; 4) A
representative of the Estuarine Research Federation will describe career paths;
and 5) Funding-agency representatives will describe their programs and opportunities.
Symposium Eligibility
DIACES is open to PhDs completed January 1, 2000 -
March 31, 2002 in any biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics/modeling
or physics subjects relevant to coastal, estuarine or Great Lake environments.
Selection will favor those who plan to pursue careers dedicated to better
understanding or management of these systems.
