Climate change is everyone's business, and a robust climate literacy
must include much more than just atmospheric science and alternative
energy. Indeed, the biological and ecological effects of coming
changes are a critical part of the story. If climate change is part
of what you teach your students and you have something to say about
your experiences to an audience primarily made up of Earth
scientists, please consider submitting a proposal/abstract to this
session. Focusing on hands-on teaching experiences, we hope to
represent a wide range of disciplines that have something to say
about and distinctive perspectivves on the subject, especially
including those that are not typically represented well or at all
among the 20,000 or so AGU members Earth scientists and educators)
