The U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) will hold a workshop on Climate Science in Support of Decisionmaking on November 14-16, 2005, at the Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel in Arlington, Virginia. The workshop will explore uses of observations, modeling, studies of climate and related environmental processes, and derived tools to inform decisionmaking. It will serve as a forum to address progress and future plans for CCSP’s three decision-support approaches:
The CCSP Workshop Program Committee invites presentations by users of climate science as well as members of the research community on topics related to the major themes of the workshop, described below. The remainder of this call for presentations provides basic information about who should submit an abstract, the types of presentations encouraged, how to submit an abstract, the review process, and key dates, including announcement of accepted presentations. Additional information on the Program’s decision-support approaches may be found in Chapter 11 (“Decision Support Resources Development”) of the CCSP Strategic Plan. Current information about the workshop is available online.
Examples of those who should consider submitting a proposal include: climate researchers; experts in related technical fields (e.g., engineering); managers of resources affected by climate variability and change; regional, state, and local government officials; policy analysts; and other stakeholders. The workshop seeks to encourage dialogue between producers of scientific information on climate variability and change and those who could use this information in decisionmaking. Presentations from non-scientist users of climate information are encouraged.
Presentations are sought that explore the application of information developed through science and technology research on climate variability and change to support decisionmaking in the following broad areas:
Presentations related to the above areas should address one or more of the following topics:
In order to facilitate dialogue and interactions among participants, each presentation will be approximately 10 minutes long, and will be followed by approximately 10 minutes for questions and responses. For some panel discussions, additional time will be allocated for general discussion.
Abstracts are limited to 400 words or less. The abstract should include a brief description of your role in the decision-support process (i.e., whether you are “user” or “producer” of information on climate variability/change). Depending on your role, you should indicate how your presentation will address the broad areas and topics listed above. The deadline for submitting abstracts is July 30, 2005.
The Program Committee requests that those interested in presenting submit an abstract describing their presentation using the web-based submission process described and available through the Instructions for Submitting Abstracts page.
The Program Committee will review all submitted abstracts. Decisions about which presentations to include will be made on the basis of several criteria, including quality, relevance to CCSP and workshop objectives, and diversity in presenters (private sector, academia, etc.) as well as material (topics, scale of efforts, etc.). The Program Committee may contact you for additional information, for example in cases where there are duplicate proposals that address essentially the same issues. All individuals who submit an abstract will be informed whether their proposed presentation has been accepted by September 1.
No, the process for submitting abstracts is separate from the process for registering for the workshop. You must register for the workshop by by accessing the Registration and Rates page.
