Dear All, we would like to draw your attention to the following session
at the upcoming AGU 2017 and encourage your contributions:
*Session Title:* GC029. *Environmental research infrastructures as tools
to address global challenges
*Session Viewer Link:**
https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm17/preliminaryview.cgi/Session25563**
Humanity is facing enormous environmental challenges: biodiversity
decline, climate change, ocean acidification, sea level rise, etc. On
the other hand, environmental Research Infrastructures (RI’s) have
developed significantly over the last decades. In this oral session, we
will merge global environmental challenges and the capabilities of
environmental RI’s. Our aim is to assess how the existing RI’s could
help to address some of the most significant environmental global
challenges.
We invite submissions that describe success stories of cooperation among
international RI's in relation to global challenges. We also encourage
contributions showing ideas on how the existing RI's can work together.
This could include ideas on how to drive the integration of different
research fields and data through RI’s, e.g. space-based measurements
with in-situ infrastructures. The expected results could include
establishment of new cooperation threads among scientists and RI's
operators that could take the shape of new project consortia. In
parallel we are working on a special issue to be published in a high
impact environmental journal. This session could be a great opportunity
to configure writing teams and discuss ideas to be submitted to the
mentioned special issue.
*Abstract submissions are now open*! We look forward to your submission
to help us demonstrate and encourage the power of international
cooperation among the diverse landscape of global Research
Infrastructures in addressing global challenges.
Best regards,
The session organizers
