Annex 3 Status of the IAI Summer Training School at the University of Miami

The document details the establishment of the IAI Summer Training School, noting that the University of Miami (RSMAS) will act as the agent to secure funding from the NSF for a three-year program. It describes a joint supervision model between RSMAS and IAI to ensure interdisciplinary and multinational participation, managed by a coordinator and a scientific leader. Proposed thematic areas include social science methods for natural scientists, climate downscaling, sustainable coastal management, socioeconomic impacts of El Niño, and remote-sensing data for ocean-land interactions.

• The University of Miami (RSMAS) is designated as the agent for the IAI to establish the Summer Training School and was tasked with submitting a proposal to the NSF by June 30, 1998, to fund an initial three-year program.
• The program's governance involves shared supervision between RSMAS and IAI to maintain a philosophy of interdisciplinary and multinational participation, with administration handled by a two-person team consisting of a coordinator and a scientific leader.
• Potential themes for the three-year plan include social science methods for natural scientists, the transition from GCM broad scale to regional and local climate scenarios (downscaling), sustainable coastal management development, socioeconomic impacts of past El Niño events, and the application of remote-sensing data to ocean-land interactions.
