I’ve just been browsing the sessions for the AGU Fall Meeting, to be held in San Francisco in December. Abstracts are due by September 3. The following sessions caught my attention:
- ED12: Using Web 2.0 Technologies to Facilitate Science Communications. (We could submit an abstract describing some of the tools we’ve been building);
- GC03: Methodologies of Climate Model Confirmation and Interpretation (A great place for Jon to present the results of his study on how climate scientists come to trust their code)
- IN06: The Management and Dissemination of Earth and Space Science Models (Another chance for me to talk about the findings from my Hadley study)
- IN07: Earth Science Software Reuse: Experiences and Challenges (lots of things I could say, but probably not enough material for a real abstract)
- IN11: Challenges in Achieving Earth System Model Interoperability (One for Carolyn’s work)
- IN13: Emerging Issues in e-Science: Collaboration, Provenance, and the Ethics of Data (I’d want to hang out at this one and hear what people have to say; might be a good place for Alicia to present her work too)
- IN17: Data and Informatics for Environmental Decision Making (ditto)
Plus some sessions that sound generally interesting:
- A44: Towards a Policy-Relevant, Open and Transparent Global Greenhouse Gas Monitoring and Information System (GHGIS) (Sounds like a fascinating requirements analysis project)
- ED07: Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Education (relevant to the stuff Jon and I were talking about earlier this year on climate models as educational tools)
- IN12: Semantic eScience (because I’m a sucker for social epistemology)
