The Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) will hold an open Town
Hall on Monday, 12 December 2016, 12:30-1:30 p.m. PT, in conjunction with
the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) in San
Francisco, California. An online webinar stream will be available for
those not attending the AGU meeting.
At this open Town Hall, SEARCH leadership will discuss how researchers,
agencies, and stakeholders can contribute to and participate in SEARCH's
"Permafrost", "Sea Ice", and "Land Ice" activities; help steer the work
of new cross-disciplinary working groups on coastal resilience and
Arctic scenarios; and introduce SEARCH's new "Knowledge Pyramids."
SEARCH is constructing Knowledge Pyramids to make scientific knowledge
available on-line to decision makers, journalists, students, and
scientists in diverse fields. Each knowledge pyramid answers a specific
question about environmental change in the Arctic through tiers of
increasing detail. The top of the pyramid provides, in accessible
language, a succinct synopsis of what we know about the question in the
form of a 12-page brief suitable for policymakers. The second tier down
contains summaries more detailed than the brief; below that are
published conceptual and technical syntheses; and, finally, the base of
the pyramid is made of detailed technical reports focused on specific
details.
Broad participation enhances SEARCH's success and we invite everyone
interested in the Arctic to learn more about becoming part of our
community at this event. Light refreshments will be provided. Students
and early career investigators are particularly encouraged to
participate.
In addition to the in-person event, an online webinar stream will be
available for those not attending AGU.
