Dear Colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to a Natural Hazards session at
the AGU 2014 Fall Meeting on "Exploring the Role of Science
throughout the Disaster Lifecycle."
We are looking for presentations from a broad array of disciplines
and are particularly interested in the role that ecologists play in
collecting data, guiding research, and contributing to policy
decisions during environmental crises.
Abstracts are due 6 August 2014. The conference will take place in
San Francisco, CA from 15-19 December. Additional information on the
conference is available at
<http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/>http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/.
Information on abstract submission is available at
<http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/scientific-program/>http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2014/scientific-program/.
Thank you for considering submitting an abstract to this session.
Please let us know if you have any questions and we look forward to
hearing from you.

AGU Session 3714 Exploring thhe Role of Science throughout the
Disaster Lifecycle

Preparing for, responding to, and recovering from disasters employs
a wide spectrum of scientific expertise and cross-discipline and
cross-agency coordination. This session seeks to highlight and
evaluate the role of science throughout the lifecycle of natural and
human-caused disasters. We welcome all contributions to this topic,
but are particularly interested in the means in which science is
employed during the different time periods in the disaster cycle
i.e., preparedness, response, reecovery, and resilience. In addition,
we are looking for speakers who address the intersection and
collaboration among different disciplines, including but not limited
to the earth, biological, engineering, and social sciences,
throughout the preparedness and recovery continuum.
