Papers are invited for Session ED03: "IPY: Science and Outreach in Polar
Partnership," being convened at the American Geophysical Union (AGU)
Fall Meeting, to be held 15-19 December 2008, in San Francisco,
California.
Session Description:
The International Polar Year 2007-2008 continues to lead the integration
of outreach, education and communication into research projects.
Scientists and educators within the polar community have been working
together to develop and share effective methods of communicating the
important role of Polar Regions in the global system. This session is an
opportunity to celebrate and profile successful partnerships between IPY
science and outreach, explore best-practices, and set recommendations
for future collaborations.
Session organizers welcome abstracts from all areas of polar science and
outreach, especially those that used IPY as an opportunity to explore
new collaborations, techniques, audiences, and technology. Organizers
are interested in approaches used for international to local activities,
evaluation of these, and how these might be applied to a different
context.
The abstract deadline is Wednesday, 10 September 2008, at 11:59 p.m.
Universal Time.
