Call for Papers: Climate Literacy in Multidisciplinary Higher Education
(Session ID# 8799), American Geophysical Union (AGU), December 14-18,
2015. Abstract submission deadline August 5 at
http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2015/abstract-submissions/.
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 perspectives 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) who attend this annual event in San Francisco. Session
conveners: Scott Denning, Atmospheric Sciences, Colorado State
University; James Brey, Director, Education Program, American
Meteorological Society (AMS); SueEllen Campbell, English, Colorado State
University. For more information, please email
