GC029. Cutting-Edge Challenges in Climate Change Science

This session seeks to organize and bring together presentations that overview the most pressing issues and concerns surrounding global climate change. It is intended to highlight well-recognized problems and underscore new and pressing developments in climate research. We are seeking abstracts identifying, defining and addressing a critical issue in climate science, possibly including but not limited to geoengineering, key regional impacts, short-lived greenhouse gases, fast vs. slow feedbacks, paleoclimate reconstructions and ice sheet contributions to sea level rise. Bringing these discussions together at this time is a critical endeavor as the challenges are often interactive and/or interdependent.
