Submit proposals: http://climatecolab.org/web/guest/plans/-/plans/contestId/1301102 Deadline: January 31, 2015, at 11:59:59 PM U.S. Eastern Time Everyone in this contest has the opportunity to do good and share insights with communities at the leading edge of climate change impacts. Judges' and Popular Choice winning teams will be invited to collaborate with Dr. Karim-Aly S. Kassam and villagers in the Pamir Mountains. AGU will support the winning team with up to $2000 to support their continued collaboration and partnership with the project. Examples include, but are not limited to: collaborating with a university in the region, proposing collaborative studies between the winning team and local institutions, contributions towards a community science component in local university curricula, or travel for one member of the Judges' Choice team to travel with Dr. Kassam to the Pamir Mountains. Both Popular and Judges' Choice winners will be connected with people who can support the further implementation of their proposal. They will be recognized and publicized by the MIT Climate CoLab and AGU/TEX and invited to showcase their proposals at AGU and Climate CoLab conferences.
