Forgive the lack of specific "geoengineering" focus. Nevertheless, I think geoengineering is within scope for this meeting.
*Communicating Climate Science: A Historic Look to the Future* The conference will be held 8-13 June 2013 at Snow Mountain Ranch in Granby, Colorado. http://chapman.agu.org/climatescience/ The goal of this Chapman Conference is to bring together scholars, social scientists, and journalists to discuss both the history and recent advances in the understanding of climate science and how to communicate that science to policymakers, the media, and society. A research agenda of the conference will focus on the efficacy of scientific communication, with ideas on improved practices arising as an outcome from collaborations spawned at the conference. This exploration will take place through: 1) discussions covering the history of climate science and successes and failures in communicating scientific ideas to the policy makers and public; 2) an assessment of where we are with respect to current knowledge of climate science and its communication and acceptance by society; 3) a comparison with experiences in other areas producing similar difficulties between scientific knowledge dissemination, societal acceptance of that knowledge, and governance.
