Climate Communication - creating comprehensive climate science and solutions education curriculum at AGU - Abstract Deadline 3 August, 11:59 P.M. EDT
by Byrne, James 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Dear AGU Colleagues, Please do submit an abstract in support of our AGU sessions focused on climate change solutions. We plan to integrate the two sessions into a low cost climate science and solutions education curriculum as discussed below. The global environmental change session titled: GC025: Our Climate Legacies looks at what humanity has done; what we have failed to do; and what we must do to leave a reasonably safe, livable legacy to current and future generations. Abstracts discussing all aspects of climate change are welcome. The session link is here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session13886.html Our education session titled ED008: Climate change science and solutions - a senior multidisciplinary course curriculum is building on the GEC session to create a comprehensive climate science and solutions education curriculum. We want to create a high value long-term climate education resource for professors and teachers. The education session link is here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm16/preliminaryview.cgi/Session13964.html First authors will be asked to provide a 10-15 page summary chapter for inclusion in an online textbook, focused on the subject matter in the submitted abstract. During the fall meeting, where possible, first authors will be invited to a private venue near the Moscone Center to provide a 20-minute comprehensive lecture that will be video recorded and shared as part of the online textbook. The recorded talks will be merged with author provided PowerPoint slides and appropriate high definition video footage to support the discussion. Authors will be asked to sign a waiver allowing the video recording to be part of the online textbook. No compensation is provided to any author. Access to the videos and textbook chapters will be provided online to students registered in recognized university classes on climate change science and solutions for a modest fee. This is a collaboration of James Byrne, John Cook, Leanne Little, Kent Peacock, Peter Sinclair and Charles Zeller. Thanks so much for your consideration. Warm regards, Jim Byrne
