The quarterly disbursements will include tuition, benefits, and costing allocations in Workday as appropriate. The funding will be on a quarterly basis and requires a match from the department. This means that if the Graduate School funds a PhD student for one quarter, the department must fund the same student for a second quarter. There is no expectation of continued funding through this mechanism, and departments must reapply for each request beyond the original commitment. The deadline to apply for Autumn 2025 is *September 24, EOB*. We will follow up with details about Winter 2026 and Spring 2026 deadlines. We will receive the nominations through MyGrad. The creation of that portal is still in process, but below is the information departments will need to submit: - Student name and ID no. - PhD granting department - Name of PI and grant - Details about grant cancellation, including dates - Details on how the program/department/college/school?attempted?to fill funding gaps locally I will send the link to the MyGrad portal once it is ready. Please do not send nominations to this email address. All student nominees must have been funded on a grant that was unexpectedly terminated in or since Spring 2025. Students on grants under threat of termination are not eligible. Priority will be given to: - PhD students beyond advancement to candidacy stage, especially those near graduation - PhD students admitted in or before the 2024-2025 academic year - PhD students working with an assistant professor either as their advisor or in a collaboration on a grant where the assistant professor is the PI Please cascade this information to your GPCs, GPAs, and department chairs. We will do the same. Please reach out to *graddean@uw.edu * if you have any questions.

Please join us for the first PCC Colloquium of the quarter this Friday, Sep 26 at 3:30pm in Johnson Hall (JHN) 075. Prof. Abby Swann will present on "Carbon cycle and climate under declining and zero emissions". This event will be held jointly with the Atmos Colloquium. Speaker: Prof. Abby Swann (Department of Atmospheric & Climate Science, Department of Biology) Title: "Carbon cycle and climate under declining and zero emissions" Time and location: Friday, Sep 26 at 3:30pm in JHN 075 Abstract: Land carbon sinks are responsible for removing about a quarter of anthropogenic CO2 emissions and make up approximately half of total global carbon sinks. Uncertainty in the response of land carbon sinks to climate are large and dominate the uncertainty in total carbon sinks over the next century. Understanding the carbon cycle response to net-zero and net-negative emissions, and particularly the highly uncertain land carbon cycle response, has important implications for projecting future climate. As we aim for pathways that reduce emissions and eventually reach net-zero the Earth system enters a new combination of forcing and climate that has so far been understudied. In this talk we will explore the climate and terrestrial carbon cycle response to declining and net-zero emissions. The PCC Colloquium will rotate to other topics and units in future months. Up next will be a presentation by Prof. Alex Gagnon (Oceanography) on Wednesday, October 8 at 3:30pm in Ocean Sciences Building 425 ("Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal - From Discovery to Impact?).

You can sign up for the mailing list *here* -- this is where we'll send out papers and meeting reminders. We meet on *Wednesdays from 1:30-2:30 in OSB* (usually OSB 310). Our first meeting of the quarter will be *October 1 *(snacks will be involved!). For some context, a few of us grad students started the club 4 years ago to facilitate conversations about interactions between parts of the Earth system. The club includes students from across the College of the Environment (primarily ESS, Oceanography, and Atmos), with the goal of drawing on a range of expertise and backgrounds to better understand current climate-related questions and debates. Personally, I've also found it to be a great way to meet grad students in other departments and build a broader community at UW. Starting last quarter, we also incorporated the existing ATMS Environmental Justice journal club to make an effort to include justice elements in mainstream climate science conversations. Feel free to reach out to any of the organizers (me, Drew Pronovost, Stella Heflin, and Noah Rosenberg) if you have any questions! Hope to see you next week!

This event is being organized by 350 Seattle, IBEW 46, UAW 4121, and the Harry Bridges Labor Center. The link to RSVP is in the event flyer below and also *here* . [image: community_assembly.png] *Below is some additional information about the event from 350 Seattle: * *Washington can show other states how to end climate pollution, build resilience from extreme weather, and create good green union jobs while transforming our local economy.* *Senate Majority Leader Jamie Pedersen is one of the most influential politicians in Olympia; he and his colleagues need to hear that we expect our state elected officials to lead on climate action, regardless of what the federal government does. Our vision of transformation is big, but we pick tangible fights to make meaningful progress. We're focusing on the UW gas plant because it is one of the largest direct polluters in the city, and because the shovel-ready plans to electrify would bring cooling to thousands of UW students, faculty and staff. We have an excellent lineup of community leaders and UW stakeholders who are ready to share their stories of how overheated buildings have impacted them, why urgent climate action is so crucial, and why we need cooling, not gas.* Best, Stella *Stella Heflin* (she/her) University of Washington | Graduate Student Atmospheric and Climate Science | Fu Group PCC | Graduate Steering Committee Member Graduate Fellow | Center for Environmental Politics GCC 2025 | Organizing Committee -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
