Organizers with the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP)
announce a call for abstracts for the 2017 International Conference on
Arctic Science: Bringing Knowledge to Action. This meeting will convene
24-27 April 2017 in Reston Virginia.

This conference will provide a venue for dialogue, discussion, and
networking in order to promote the timely and effective response to the
need to translate science and knowledge into actions that support and
enhance decision-making and public policy at all relevant scales as well
as provide the foundation for adaptation and sustainability of natural
and human resources.

The conference will bring together diverse expert communities ranging
from scientists to decision-makers in order to identify, explore, and
create mechanisms through which science and knowledge can inform the
development of policies and decision-making.

Organizers hope to utilize plenary, breakout, and poster-based sessions
to simulate the science, knowledge, and action experience, and allow
participants the opportunity to identify, discuss, develop, and enhance
the various elements of the science to stakeholder interaction. Some
plenary and breakout sessions will include panel discussions in order to
facilitate the subsequent discussions about key topics associated with
the science to decision-making process.

Abstract submission deadline: Thursday, 1 December 2016.

  1. Call for Abstracts
    15th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop
    2-4 May 2017
    Anchorage, Alaska

Organizers of the 15th Annual Climate Prediction Application Science
Workshop (CPASW) announce a call for abstracts. The theme of this
workshop is "Understanding Extreme Events and Decision-Maker Needs in
the Context of Climate Variability and Change" and will convene 2-4 May
2017 in Anchorage, Alaska.

The 2017 CPASW will be hosted by the NOAA National Weather Service
Climate Services Branch, the Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and
Policy (ACCAP), and other climate services partners. It will bring
together climate researchers, service producers, decision-makers, and
other users to accelerate developments in the research and applications
of climate information for societal decision-making.

Focus areas for this workshop include:

  • Climate information applications at local, regional, and global scales
    related to preparedness and management for weather and climate extremes;
  • Climate services for coastal and indigenous communities in
    high-latitude areas, including the Arctic;
  • Best practices of observing, documenting, and communicating climate
    information relevant for national, tribal and international
    collaborations; and
  • Service delivery coordination and decision support for planning,
    resource allocation, sustainable development, and environmental
    management needed for building resilient communities.

Short-term climate variability and long-term climate change as well as
attribution science are cross-cutting concerns for all of these focus
areas, especially in preparedness activities for extreme events and
supporting critical decision-making for several socio-economic sectors.

Organizers invite abstracts that address the use of climate data and
products including monitoring, predictions, and projections in all of
the focus areas listed above, particularly for extreme events. Papers
highlighting best practices in the areas of communication and outreach,
decision support tools, and preparedness methods for advancing societal
adaptation are also invited. The target audience for this workshop
includes planners, managers, practitioners, researchers, service
providers, and tribal environmental coordinators and leaders dealing
with climate-related challenges.

Abstract submission deadline: 13 January 2017.
