[ecrea] Earth Science Communication in a Changing Media Landscape - call for abstracts, AGU Fall Meeting, San Francisco, 5-9 Dec 2011

I would like to highlight a special session to you at the upcoming AGU 
Fall Meeting in San Francisco, December 5 - 9 2011. Randy Richardson 
from Arizona University and I are the organizers of the session "Earth 
Science Communication in a Changing Media Landscape" (PA03 
<http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/session-search/678>) at 
the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting 5-9 December 2011. 
With more than 16.000 participants from all over the world, the Fall 
Meeting is one of the world's leading meetings for Earth Sciences.

We would like to encourage you to contribute a presentation on your 
experience in the area of science communication and interpretation via 
blogs and podcasts. The AGU Fall meeting is all about Earth sciences 
(and geophysics in particular), but within our Educations and Public 
Affairs tracks, we try to set a new focus on science communication and 
science interpretation. Presentations of Best Practice examples and new 
communication strategies will provide new insights and suggestions for 
Earth science communicators all over the world.

If you are interested in contributing to the Fall Meeting, please be 
aware that the deadline for all submissions of abstracts will be August 
4. Since you might not be a member of AGU, there is the option to 
"sponsor" non-members abstract submissions by lending a valid 
membership-ID to you. If you are interested, please contact me or Randy 
for further details on this. You will find more information about the 
meeting at: http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/

We hope we were able to ignite a spark of interest. If you have any 
questions, please do not hesitate to contact any of us. I also hope, 
that you could spread the word about the session and the Educations and 
Public Affairs tracks (AGU Fall Meeting session search 
<http://sites.agu.org/fallmeeting/scientific-program/session-search/>) 
throughout the science communication community.

Hope to see you in San Francisco,

sincerely,
