[ESIP-all] Fw: [CLN Members] Request for abstracts for climate literacy sessions at AGU and GSA

[Tamara Ledley]

Hi Everyone,
   The abstract deadlines for the AGU (Aug 8th) and GSA (August 14th) 
meetings are approaching.  Below is the email i sent a few weeks ago that 
lists the climate literacy sessions at both of these meetings.  Please 
consider submitting an abstract and forwarding the email to others who you 
think have efforts they should share.  This is a long list - so you can 
identify the specific sessions that might be the most relevant to the 
communities or groups you send it onto.
   Thanks for considering submitting an abstract and forwarding on this 
request to your communities.
Tamara

Hi Everyone,
   Most of you know I have been coordinating, through the Climate Literacy 
Network, a set of climate literacy sessions at both the AGU (American 
Geophysical Union) and GSA (Geological Society of America) meetings. 
Please consider submitting abstracts to these sessions.  I am pasting in 
the titles of the AGU and GSA session titles, along with the dates of the 
meeting, abstract deadline, and link for submission below.  In addition I 
am attaching files with the session descriptions.  Last year we were very 
successful at AGU with 5 sessions featuring 107 presentations.  This year 
we have 12 sessions at AGU and 4 sessions at GSA (this includes climate 
literacy relevant sessions that were submitted independently and have 
agreed to join in our coordination).
   Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to seeing 
your abstracts.
Tamara
