1.     Seeking Experts to Plan Workshop on the Future of Paleoclimate Research https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/5818792/Call-for-Nominations-Identifying-New-Community-Driven-Science-Themes-for-NSF-s-Support-of-Paleo-Perspectives-on-Climate-Change-P2C2?mc_cid=e668713e7e&mc_eid=3144f39e0d   The National Academies seeks nominations of experts to organize a workshop on future directions in paleoclimate research to advance understanding of current and future change in the Earth’s climate system.  Funded by the National Science Foundation, the workshop will be informed by input from the scientific community collected via an online questionnaire. The workshop will identify gaps in current understanding of past climate variability and processes and explore potential research strategies and technological capabilities to fill those gaps.   Nominees for the workshop planning committee should have expertise in paleoclimatology and Earth system science, including ocean, cryosphere, geologic, and atmospheric data and processes, and computational climate and Earth System Modeling.  Nominees who can help connect and engage with the scientific community also are sought.

 

Please submit your nominations by Wednesday, September 30, 2020. Self-nominations are welcome.
