[Viz] Fall AGU ED session: Communicating Climate Change: Creative Challenge or Conundrum?

[Mark McCaffrey]

The 2004 fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) will include a session
entitled "Communicating Climate Change: Creative Challenge or Conundrum?"

We seek submissions of papers on the challenges, opportunities, success-stories and
"case study" insights on effective education and communication of climate change to
students and general or other specialized audiences. The session aims to offer a forum
for interdisciplinary dialogue on the topic from experts and practitioners from the
realms of climate science, communication, the media, curriculum development and
deployment, educational and cognitive research, policy and strategic planning, and
informal science education. In particular, programs and research that relate to a
regional perspective on communicating climate change and variability are encouraged.

If you are going to the Fall AGU meeting in San Francisco and are planning to submit an
abstract for another session outside of EDUCATION, you can also submit an abstract for
this session and be exempt from the one-abstract per author rule. The meeting will be
held in San Francisco, California, on December 13-17, 2004. Abstracts are due September
9th. Please visit the session webpage at:
http://www.agu.org/meetings/fm04/search_detail.php?sessid=142 and AGU's abstract
submission page at: http://submissions4.agu.org/submission/entrance.asp

Please be aware that AGU anticipates that 75% of the accepted abstracts will be poster
and not oral presentations. Depending on the number of contributions we will have one or
more sessions (each 2 hours long, with 8 oral presentations of 15-minutes length each).

For more information on this session, contact Mark McCaffrey
